According to the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS), soils are considered coarse-grained if the percentage passing through the No. 200 sieve is less than:

If with steady flow in any length or reach of a stream, the average velocity at every cross-section is the same in that reach, the flow is said to be:

A process by which water-saturated soil sediment temporarily loss strength and acts as a fluid.

A ship floating in seawater is stable if the metacentric height is:

A body placed in a liquid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced liquid. This principle of buoyancy was attributed to:

The component of shear strength of a rock or soil that interparticle friction is called

The ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of solids in a soil mass is called:

The volume of liquid passing a cross-section of a stream.

One of the following foundation conditions does not affect foundation settlement.

Which of the following is NOT a component of the soil mass?

Soil derives its strength from its capacity to resist.

According to USCS soil classification of a soil particle whose size is greater than 75 mm is called:

The cohesion strength of a cohesive soil is a compression strength C = Kqu where K is equal to

When the path lines of the individual particles of a flowing liquid are irregular curves and continually cross each other and form a complicated network, the flow is called:

What is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of solids in a given volume of soil?

In any stream flowing steadily without friction, the total energy contained is the same at every point in its path of low. This principle is attributed to:

Water has a maximum unit weight at a temperature of:

The pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally and undiminished in all directions. This principle of mechanics is attributed

The largest grain size that passes a No. 200 sieve in millimeters is:

The ratio between the volume of voids and the total volume of the soil mass is referred to as:

Valid range for S, the degree of saturation of soil in percentage is:

The ratio between the volume of voids and total volume of the soil mass is referred to as:

The fraction of soils passing which sieve number is used for Atterberg Limits tests of soils?

One of the following is NOT characteristic of cohesionless soils:

If at any instant, the number of particles passing through every cross-section of a stream is the same, the flow is said to be:

What would happen if the ground water table will be at the ground level?

A line joining the points of highest elevation of water in a series of vertical open pipes rising from a pipeline in which water flows under pressure is referred to as:

One of the following foundation conditions does not affect foundation settlement.

A pressure surge or wave caused when a fluid in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly (momentum change) is referred to in hydraulics as:
