    Q # Part Problem Statement Marks CLO’s Level


    a) What is the purpose of using tremie pipe in pile execution? 2

    b) How will you differentiate ultimate bearing capacity with 2


    net bearing capacity? Write in your own words.
    c) The settlement of pile in a group is always greater than that 2
    1 of corresponding single pile. Why?
    d) Write down two shortcomings in Terzaghi’s Equations. 2
    If load is in the center of foundation and there are no
    e) moments then which relation will be used for calculating 2
    stress under the foundation?
    a) In strip footing, width to length ratio of bearing area 1
    approaches zero. Is this statement true or false?
    Derive the relation for effective unit weight when depth
    b) from base of the footing to GWT is less than the size of 3
    2 footing.
    c) Write down two conditions demanding mat foundation. 2 CLO-3 2
    d) With the increase in water table elevation, required width 2
    of foundation decreases or increases?
    If value of ‘B’ or ‘Df’ is required then how will you decide
    e) that which type of case (Df/B≤1 and Df/B>1) you have to 2
    use for calculating depth factors to get the required value?
    a) Calculate ultimate bearing capacity of cohesive soil at the 2
    level of ground surface, having cohesion = 20 KN/m2
    b) What will be the residual settlement of pile if rebound is 2
    4mm against total settlement of 15mm?
    c) If X = Your Roll No. and Y= Average of two Roll No.’s 2
    after you, then calculate arc tan (Y /X).
    Assume we have local shear failure and value of ϕ = 30°,
    3 d) find Nc⸍, Nq⸍ and Nγ⸍ using Terzaghi’s bearing capacity 2
    factor table.
    Calculate inclination factor ‘Fγi’ when soil frictional angle
    e) is 30° and load is inclined at an angle of 60° with 2
    horizontal.
    Q# Problem Statement Marks CLO’s Level

    For the square footing


    (2.5m x 2.5m) shown in
    Figure, determine the
    allowable resisting
    moment (M), if the 10
    allowable load P = 800
    4
    KN+ Your Roll No. and
    F.S = 3. (Use Meyerhof
    Equation and Shape and
    Depth factors of
    Hansen).

    An eccentrically loaded CLO-3 2


    rectangular foundation
    (6ft x 8ft) shown in
    Figure. Use factor of
    safety of 3 and if e =
    0.5ft, determine the
    10
    allowable load that the
    5 foundation could carry.
    (The factor of safety is
    based on the maximum
    stress along the base of
    the footing).
    Hint: FOS=qu/qmax
