  • Q1. What are the different modes of shear failures in soil?
  • Ans. 

    Different modes of shear failures in soil include general shear failure, punching shear failure, and local shear failure.

    • General shear failure occurs along a plane within the soil mass.

    • Punching shear failure happens when a foundation settles and punches through the soil beneath it.

    • Local shear failure involves the development of shear planes around localized weak zones.

    • Other modes of shear failures include slope failure

  • Q2. Explain the pile design concepts
  • Ans. 

    Pile design concepts involve determining the type, size, and arrangement of piles to support structures on soft or unstable ground.

    • Consider the soil conditions and load requirements to determine the type of pile (e.g. driven piles, bored piles, or screw piles)

    • Calculate the required pile length based on the depth of stable soil or rock and the expected loads

    • Design the pile cap to distribute the loads from the structure ...

  • Q3. What is the termination criteria of a borehole?
  • Ans. 

    Termination criteria of a borehole refer to the conditions under which drilling is stopped.

    • Termination criteria can include reaching the desired depth, encountering unstable ground conditions, or equipment failure.

    • Other factors such as budget constraints or time limitations may also influence termination.

    • For example, if the borehole reaches the target depth without encountering any significant obstacles, it may be term...

  • Q4. What is an intermediate Geo material?
  • Ans. 

    An intermediate Geo material is a material that falls between two extremes in terms of its geotechnical properties.

    • Intermediate Geo materials have properties that are neither purely cohesive nor purely granular.

    • They may exhibit characteristics of both cohesive and granular materials.

    • Examples include silty sands, sandy clays, and clayey gravels.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. How can you identify the foundation type for design?
  • Ans. 

    Foundation type can be identified through site investigation, soil testing, and analysis of building requirements.

    • Conduct site investigation to understand soil conditions

    • Perform soil testing to determine soil properties and bearing capacity

    • Analyze building requirements such as load, type of structure, and environmental factors

    • Common foundation types include shallow foundations (e.g. strip, pad, raft) and deep foundatio

  • Q1. What is mean by shear key
  • Ans. 

    Shear key is a device used to transfer shear forces between two components in a structure.

    • Shear keys are typically used in construction joints to prevent sliding between adjacent components.

    • They are designed to resist horizontal forces and ensure stability.

    • Shear keys can be found in structures such as bridges, buildings, and dams.

    • Examples include shear keys in bridge expansion joints to prevent movement between bridge

  • Q2. Different between columns and beams
  • Ans. 

    Columns are vertical structural members that support loads, while beams are horizontal members that transfer loads to columns or walls.

    • Columns are vertical and primarily support compressive loads.

    • Beams are horizontal and primarily support bending loads.

    • Columns are typically taller than they are wide, while beams are typically wider than they are tall.

    • Examples: In a building, columns support the weight of the floors abo...
