In comparison to silt, clay particles are more spherical
Clay has smaller specific surface area than silt
No, the answer is incorrect.
Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
Silt has some cohesion and has modest plasticity
4) In hydrometer analysis, with the increase in temperature, the hydrometert point
bulb will move
Upwards
Movement is not affected due to change in temperature
Downwards
test cannot be conducted if temperature is not constant
No, the answer is incorrect.

Accepted Answers:
Downwards
'5) Which of the following statement is true 1 point
The value of C,, of poorly graded soil will be greater than well graded soil
The value of Cy of poorly graded soil will be smaller than well graded soil
The value of Cy of poorly graded soil will be similar to well graded soil
The value of Cy of poorly graded soil can be lower as well higher than well
graded soil. It depends on the gradation
No, the answer is incorrect.
Score: 0
‘Accepted Answers:
The value of Cy, of poorly graded soil will be smaller than well graded soil

8) Sieve analysis was done on a 5 kg soil sample encountered in field. The 7 point
cumulative weight retained on 4.75 mm and 0.075 mm IS sieves was
1000 gm and 2000 gm respectively. LL and PI of fine grained soll in the mix was
found to be 45 % and 10 respectively, The soil class as per USCS and ISCS are
OL/ML and OL/ML
OL/ML and OW/MI
SC and SC
OLICL and OVCI
No, the answer is incorrect.

and minimal rainfall. The following are some lists of test that you have can choose to perform on
soil and asphalt mixtures. Which two tests will you prefer to conduct in the laboratory for
characterizing the response of the pavement?
1.CBR of subgrade soll
2.4 day soaked CBR of subgrade soil

10) While doing a sieve size analysis of clay, you found that the hydrometer reading is 1 point
25 after 35 minutes. The effective depth corresponding to this reading is 15 cm. 50 g sample was.
taken for conducting the experiment. Calculate the size of particle corresponding to this reading
and the percent finer than this size. Assume that the test was done at the standard conditions,
1 Poise Gs = 2.65
Size of the particle should be calculated in mm. n solution =
(0.027-0.029) & (80-81)
(0.025-0.026) & (79-80)
(0.027-0.028) & (72-80)
(0.025-0.026) & (80-81)
No, the answer is incorrect.
