Q.

1) In which one of the following case contact pressure at the interface between

footing and soil is non-uniformly distributed being maximum at the center of

footing and minimum at the edge of footing?

A.Flexible footing over clayey soil

B.Flexible footing over granular soil

C.Rigid footing on clayey soil

D.Rigid footing on granular soil

Answer: D.Rigid footing on granular soil

Contact Pressure Distribution & Settlement under Flexible Footing

For flexible footing on cohesive soil, settlement is maximum at center of footing and minimum at the
edges.

But the contact pressure is distributed uniformly along the settlement line or deflected line.

When a flexible footing is laid on the Cohesionless soil, settlement at center becomes minimum while at
edges it is maximum.

Contact Pressure Distribution & Settlement under Rigid Footing

For rigid footings resting on cohesive soils, settlement is uniform but contact pressure varies. At edges
contact pressure is maximum and at center it is minimum.

If the footing is resting on Cohesionless soils, contact pressure is maximum at center and gradually
reduces to zero towards edges. Settlement is uniform in this case also.
Q.2) Movement of water into the soil of earth`s surface is known as ____

A.Infiltration

B.Precipitation

C.Interception

D.Runoff

Answer: A.Infiltration

Precipitation:- It is the deposition of water on the earth surface in the form of rain, show, hail, frost and
so on.

Runoff:- is the volume of water drained by a river at the outlet of the catchement.

Interception:- the volume of water that is caught by vegetation and subsequently gets evaporated is
called interception losses. It is due to evaporation and does not includes transpiration.

Percolation:- It is the movement of water from one soil zone to a lower soil zone.

of the two materials wil be

A.2 : 5

B.5 : 2

C.4 : 3

Q. 12)
When there is seepage of water, the effective stress value will differ from that in static condition. The
value of effective stress will depend upon the direction of seepage.

Determine the effective stress for an upward seepage using the relation;

…… (1)

Here, z is the depth of any point below the soil surface, I is the hydraulic gradient,
is the submerged unit weight of soil, and is the unit weight of water.

Determine the effective stress for a downward seepage using the relation;

…… (2)

Compare Equation (1) and Equation (2).

Equation (2) will higher value than Equation (1).

Hence, effective stress due to downward seepage will always be higher than upward seepage.

Therefore, the statement is
