QUESTION 3: Negative skin friction on piles is dominant in

(a) friction per bearing piles

(b) piles resting on hard sands

(c) friction piles in soft clays

(d) friction piles in sands

Answer (c)

Negative skin friction occurs when concrete piles are situated in soft soils, consolidating soil-mass, etc., resulting in a downward force that increase loading on shaft piles and reduces the bearing capacity of the piles.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

QUESTION 4: Higher density and a lower optimum water content is easily achieved by

(a) saturated soil
(b) coarse grained soil
(c) fine grained soil
(d) cohesion-less soil

Answer (b)

Well graded coarse-grain soil attains a much higher density and lower water optimum water content then fine grained soil which requiring more water.

QUESTION 5: Ratio of bearing capacity o double under reamed (UR) pile to that of single-reamed pile is nearly 

(a) 1.7
(b) 2
(c) 1.5
(d) 1.2

Answer (c)

According to IS 2911 : part III 1973, the ratio of bearing resistance for double under-reamed pile is 1.5 for sandy and clayey soils including black cotton soils.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

QUESTION 11: According to IS specifications in any case depth of foundation is sand and clay should not be less than respectively

(a) 1000 mm and 1200 mm
(b) 600 mm and 800 mm
(c) 800 mm and 900 mm
(d) 900 mm and 1000 mm

Answer (d)

According to I.S specifications, the minimum depth of building foundation on

Sandy soils - 0.8 to 1 m
Rocky soils - 0.05 m to 0.5 m
Clay soils - 0.9 to 1.6 m

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

QUESTION 16: What is the depth should the needle in vicat apparatus penetrate into the cement paste in consistency test?

(a) 33-35 cm from bottom of the mould
(b) 33-35 mm from bottom of the mould
(c) 33-35 mm from top of the mould
(d) 33-35 cm from top of the mould

Answer (c)

Consistency test-Amount of water used to make paste of normally consistency.
It is about 30% generally. It is the percentage of water required for the cement paste, the viscosity of which will be such that Vicat's plunger penetrates up to 5 to 7 mm from bottom (33 to 35 mm from top) of the Vicat's mould.
