Q.1.B Define Permeability, Compaction, Hydraulic Gradient, Maximum Dry density and Optimum (05)
Moisture Content.
OR
Q.1.B Differentiate between ‘Compaction’ and ‘Consolidation’ (05)

Q.2.A A soil sample is tested for falling head permeability and following observations are noted (05)
i) Diameter of soil Sample=100mm
ii)Length of soil specimen = 130 cm
iii)Initial water head = 100 cm
iv)final Water head=40 cm
v) Diameter of Stand pipe=12 cm
vi) Time Taken for water head to fall = 250 sec
Calculate the Coefficient of Permeability of soil sample in appropriate IS unit.

moisture content.
OR
