1st Question:

The natural ground water table at a site is located at a depth of2m below the ground water. Laboratory tests reveal that the voidratio of the soil is 0.85 while the grain size corresponding to 10%finer is 0.05 mm. Determine the depth of the zone of saturationbelow the ground level. Assume C=0.3x10-4 m2

2nd Question:

The void ratio of a given soil A is twice that of another soil B,while the effective size of particles of soil A is one-third thatof soil B. The height of capillary rise of water in soil A on acertain day is found to be 400 mm. Determine the correspondingheight of capillary rise in soil B.
