Questions and Problems
5.1 Define ‘neutral’ and ‘effective’ pressure in soils. (S.V.U.—B.E., (R.R.)—Nov., 1969)
5.2 Write short notes on ‘neutral’ and ‘effective’ pressure. What is the role of effective stress in soil
mechanics? (S.V.U.—B.E., (R.R.)—Dec., 1970)
(S.V.U.—B.E., (R.R.)—Nov., 1975)
5.3 A uniform homogeneous sand deposit of specific gravity 2.60 and void ratio 0.65 extends to a
large depth. The ground water table is 2 m from G.L. Determine the effective, neutral, and total
stress at depths of 2 m and 6 m. Assume that the soil from 1 m to 2 m has capillary moisture
leading to degree of saturation of 60%. (S.V.U.—B.Tech., (Part-time)—Sep., 1962)
5.4 Describe clearly with a neat sketch how you will determine the coefficient of permeability of a
clay sample in the laboratory and derive the expression used to compute the permeability coeffi-
cient. Mention the various precautions, you suggest, to improve the reliability of the test results.
(S.V.U.—B.Tech., (Part-time)—May, 1983)
5.5 Define ‘permeability’ and explain how would you determine it in the field.
