d. None of the above
‘Q6. Which of the following statement is true?
1) Residual soils are generally inorganic.
2) Aeoline soil is formed by the deposition of suspended material from rivers.
3) Sedimentary soils are formed by the deposition of materials by wind.
4) Sand dunes and calcitic silt are type of aeolian soil.
a. 2and3
b. 2,3, and 4
d. None of the aboveG7. The closuré length of soil at which the number of blows is recorded in the liquid limit
test is equal to
a. 5mm b. 10.5 mm
d.7.5mm
‘G8. During field visit you have to quickly identify the plasticity characteristics of subgrade
soil, which test will you perform
a. Proctor density b. Casagrande liquid limit test
4d. Sieve analysis
‘G9. Sieve analysis was done on a 5 kg soil sample encountered in field. The cumulative
weight retained on 4.75 mm and 0.075 mm IS sieves was 1000 gm and 2000 gm
respectively. LL and PI of fine grained soil in the mix was found to be 45 % and 10
respectively. The soil class as per USCS and ISCS are
a. OUML and OUML
c. SC and SC d. OLICL and OVCI
