Following Civil Engineering Multiple choice objective type questions and answers will help you in BSNL JTO, GATE 2024 and IES 2024 examinations :

11.The most suitable method for drainage of fine grained cohesive soils is

well ppint system
vacuum method
deep well system
electro-osmosis method

12.Time factor for a clay layer is

a dimensional parameter
directly proportional to permeability of soil
inversely proportional to drainage path
independent of thickness of clay layer

13.Effective stress on soil

increases voids ratio and decreases permeability
increases both voids ratio and per-meability
decreases both voids ratio and per-meability
decreases voids ratio and increases permeability

14.The ultimate consolidation settlement of a structure resting on a soil

decreases with the increase in the initial voids ratio
decreases with the decrease in the plastic limit
increases with the increase in the initial voids ratio
increases with the decrease in the porosity of the soil

15.Coefficient of compressibility is

constant for any type of soil
different for different types of soils and also different for a soil under different states of consolidation
different for different types of soils but same for a soil under different states of consolidation
independent of type of soil but depends on the stress history of soil
