Question 1
(a) What are minerals? Sketch different types of mineral crystal forms and list different types of rock forming minerals. Describe with examples the importance of mineral identification in engineering applications.
(b) Differentiate three types of rocks with examples. Also, summarize their properties for engineering applications.
(c) Describe briefly the process of mechanical and chemical weathering of rocks. Draw a typical soil profile and discuss the factors controlling soil profile development.
(d) Define ‘folds', ‘faults', ‘dip' and ‘strike' and explain each of them with neat sketches. What are synclines and anticlines? Discuss the first and second rules of anticlines.
Question 2
Critically analyse "Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Investigation Report" (attached) with respect to the ideas learned in Week#11. The analysis should contain sections such as overview of the report, aspects included in the report and aspects missing in the report. You should also include a section covering what would you do differently if you were assigned to complete the investigation and prepare report? Total analysis should not exceed 3 A4 pages.

If the mean and variance of discrete random uniform random variable X, are E(X) and V(X) respectively, what would the mean and variance of cX be in terms of E(X) and V(X) if c is a constant
For almost all new coal plants, Clean Air Act emission standards limit emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) to 260 grams per million kJ of heat input (fuel value). They also restrict particulate emissions to 13 g/106 kJ.
The station and elevation of the PVI is 8+17.36 and 76.85 ft. Assume that there will be stakes placed at the PVI, BVC, and EVC, the low (or high) point, and at all the 100-ft stations.
If 0.100 mol each of SO2 and NO2 are placed in a 500 mL vessel at this temperature, what are the concentrations of the reactants and products when equilibrium is established for this reaction?
Determine the specific surfaces in m2/g units for the spheres of diameters (a) 10.0 cm, (b) 1.0 cm,(c) 0.1 cm, (d) 0.01 cm. (e) 0.001 cm and (f) 0.0001 cm. Assume the mass density of spheres as 2.5g/cc.
Two wells had been drilled on 40-acre spacing. Well 1 is injectionand Well 2 is producing well. Down hole injection pressure is 8500psi, and bottom hole pressure in producing well is 2400 psi.
Assuming Stokes behavior, calculate the terminal settling velocity in standard air for the following particles: (a). diameter = 10 micrometers, specific gravity =1.2; and (b) diameter = 4 micrometers, specific gravity = 2.0.
A steel bar of length 30 inches and circular cross section whose diameter varies linearly from 0.50 inches at one end to 0.75 inches at the other is subjected to an axial tensile force of 4.5 kip. Find the change in length of the bar.
Assume that you borrow $10,000 for five years (annual payments) at a market rate of 5%. Assuming that inflation is 3.5%, what would the equivalent equal monthly payment be in constant dollars
