QuestionAnswer
The tendency of a liquids which makes them acquire the least surface area possible. It is responsible, for example, when an object or insects such as mosquitoes that is denser than water is able to float or run along the water surface. Surface tension
The ratio between volume of water(Vw) and volume of voids(Vv) Degree of Saturation,S
The ratio between the volume of voids(Vv) and the volume of soil mass(Vs) Void ratio, e
The ratio between the weight of water(Ww) and the weight of solid(Ws) particles. Moisture content,w
Which of the following states the law of buoyancy? Archimedes
A flow in which the velocity of the fluid at a particular fixed point does not change with time. Steady flow
Which component of rock or soil is independent of interparticle friction? Cohesion
A phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness of a soil is reduced by earthquake shaking or other rapid loading. Liquefaction
A pile of sand keeps from spreading out like a liquid because the weight of the sand keeps the grains stuck together in their current arrangements, mostly out of static friction. This weight and pressure is called. Effective Stress
Which of the following is not soil components? Gas
A practice or procedure used to assess the particle size distribution (also called gradation) of a granular material. The size distribution is often of critical importance to the way the material performsbin use. Sieve Analysis
According to USCS, what do you call a soil grain with grain size greater than 4.75mm but less than 75mm? Gravel
The following does affect the settlement of a footing: Location of GWT, plasticity of the soil, depth of backfill
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: Turbulent
A line joining the points of highest elevation of water in a series of vertical open pipes rising from a pipeline in which water under pressure is referred to as Hydraulic gradient
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 Water Hammer
At what temperature (°C) at which liquid water has the highest density? 4°C or 39.16°F
The pressure exerted onto a liquid is transmitted equally and undiminished to all portions of the liquid. This principle in the fluid mechanics is known as: Pascals
In any stream flowing steadily without friction the total energy contained is the same at every point in its path of flow. This principle is attributed to: Bernoulli's
What is the largest grain size that may pass through n No.200 sieve? 0.074mm
The following is not a characteristic of cohesive soil? Possess low shear strength
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a cohesionless soil. Practically impermeable
In accordance with the USCS, a soil grain having a size greater than No.200 sieve opening (0.0074mm) but less than that of a No. 4 sieve (4.75mm opening) is called: Sand
A granular soil deposit is considered medium dense if the blow count of a standard penetration test is between 10 to 30
If the ground water table in a soil formation rises as a result of flooding, the bearing capacity of the soil: Decreases
When at any point, the number or particles passing every section of the stream are always equal, the flow is said to be ______ Continuous
A flow in which the conditions (velocity, pressure and cross-secrion) may differ from point to point but do not change with time. Steady
Which component of rock or soil is independent of interparticle friction?

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
