The previous year question paper of UPPSC or Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission for the post of Assistant Engineer is as follows:

Consider the following statements:
1. Standard penetration test is commonly used for cohesionless soils.
2. Standard penetration test results in respect of a cohesionless soil are correlated to
its density index and friction angle.
3. Use of H-value not corrected for overburden pressure leads to highly
conservative design of footings at shallow depths.
Which of these statements are correct?
(a) 1, 2 & 3 (b) 1 & 2 only (c) 2 & 3 only (d) 1 & 3 only


Consider the following statements:
1. The benefit of surcharge and depth of foundation is only marginal in case of
footings on purely cohesive soils.
2. The bearing capacity of a footing in pure clay increases with increase in size of
the footing.


Size effects in plate load tests are more important in case of cohesionless soils.
Which of these statements are correct?
(a) 1, 2 & 3 (b) 1 & 2 only (c) 2 & 3 only (d) 1 & 3 only


The field density and field moisture content of a soil can be determined by
1. Core cutter method 2. Sand replacement method
3. Proctor compaction test 4. Modified proctor compaction test
(a) 1, 2, 3 & 4 (b) 1 & 2 only (c) 2 & 3 only (d) 2 & 4 only


Consider the following statements:
1. Friction piles are also called floating piles
2. Minimum number of piles to qualify as a pile group is three.
3. The group efficiency of a pile group may be either less than 100% or more than
100%.
Which of these statements are correct?
(a) 1, 2 & 3 (b) 1 & 2 only (c) 2 & 3 only (d) 1 & 3 only


Consider the following statements relating to foundations on expansive soils:
1. Strength should be improved and compressibility should be reduced.
2. Compressibility should be increased.
3. No stabilization should be done.
Which of these statements is/are correct?
(a) 1, 2 & 3 (b) 2 only (c) 1 only (d) 3 only
