Geoen 2 Module 2 Quiz

Consists of small, separate particles with minimal cohesion, making them prone to shifting and settling easily.

• Meniscus Tension

• Loose granular soils

• Dense Granular Materials

• Cohesion

Measures how fast water flows through materials like soil or rock when there's a specific water pressure difference.

• Permeability

• Mohr's Coulumb

• Artesian Pressure

• Confirmed Aquifer

Is soil that has undergone the same amount of consolidation in the past as it is currently experiencing.

• Consolidation

• Over Consolidation

• Normal Consolidation

• Compaction

Described as the vertical movement of the ground, typically brought on by variations in earth's forces.

• Flow nets for earth Structures

• Settlement of earth Structures

• Unconfined aquifer

• Confined aquifer

It is a graphical method of solving the two-dimensional LaPlace Equation. This solution has been attributed to Forchheimer (1911) and the others. Flow nets are based.

• Flow Net Solution

• Unconfined Aquifer

• Standard Proctor Test

• Sand Cone Method

These are strong rocks like granite that are typically brittle and prone to bursting under unconfined condition.

• Blocky and Steamy Rocks

• Intact Rocks

• Fractured Rocks

• Crushed Rocks

It is a measure of a material's inherent strength.

• Permeability

• Cohesion

• Compaction

• Compressibility

It is a process that takes place over time and can cause changes to the soil stiffness and strength.

• Over Consolidation

• Normal Consolidation

• Consolidation

• Under Consolidated

Are Characterized by a small to moderate post-peak decrease in shearing resistance and a strongly curved failure envelope.

• swelling or squeezing rocks.

• Fractured and crushed Rock

• intact rock

• dense sand

A measure of its resistance to shear deformation.

• cohesion

• Angle of Internal Friction

• Mohr-Coulomb

• loose Sand
