If during a permeability test on a soil sample with a falling head permeameter equal time
intervals are noted for drop of head from h, to h, and again from h, to h, then which one of
the following relation would hold good?

(A) (hy —hy)=(hy - hg) 0 படி
ര ലം യ) hy = Ayhy

The soils most susceptible to liquefaction are :
(A) Saturated dense sand
(B) Saturated fine and medium sands of uniform particle size
(C) Saturated clays of uniform size

(D) Saturated gravel and cobbles

The angle between the horizontal and the maximum slope that a. soil assumes through
natural process is called :

(A) Angle of internal friction (B) Cohesiveness
(C) Angle of repose (फ) Hydraulic gradient

consolidation. If the clay layer had double drainage, then the time taken to attain 50% degree
of consolidation is :

(A) lyear (B) 2 years
(0) 4 years (D) 8 years

A comparatively sudden reduction in volume of a soil mass under an applied load is called :
(A) Primary compression (B) Secondary compression
(C) Initial consolidation (D) Initial compaction
