Sandstone pore of 20 mm in diameter and 100 mm long
with porosity of 15% is prepared for
core flood experiment. The sandstone pore is fully (100%) saturated
with water by injecting
water with viscosity of 1cp at volumetric flow rate of 20 cubic
mm/sec. A pressure drop of 1
atm was recorded across the pore during the injection
process.
i. What is the absolute permeability of the sandstone pore sample
in mD?
ii. What is the pore volume of sandstone sample?
iii. The sandstone pore sample is flooded by oil with viscosity of
2 cp until
water saturation reaching to 25%. Calculate the oil volume inside
the pore
at the end of flood

A capped pile group consisting a rectangular grid of 7 by 3 spanning a total length of, 7.1 m in length. Piles are of size 400 mm diameter and spaced at 1.8 m interval. The soil profile at the site consists of 2.5 m of sand followed by clay soil below. Drive Method construction method would be used. Field and laboratory data on the soil profile indicates top layer shear strength of N = 25. Average and strength for bottom layer are Cu = 265 kPa and Cu = 290 kPa. Adhesion factor between soil and pile is 0.9. Would you recommend using the piles as a group or singles?
Part A: Show your working for the following
Pile Group Design
Part B: Show your working for the following

Q6: A
cantilever beam having span ‘L’ m was subjected to a uniformly
distributed load of
magnitude 8 kN/m for a distance of ‘0.6 L’ from the free end and
two concentrated loads one of
magnitude 15 kN at a distance ‘0.25 L’ m from the free end while
the other of magnitude ‘22’ kN at
a distance ‘0.6 L’ m from the free end respectively. It was
observed that the maximum bending
moment acting on the beam is equal to (-369 kNm). Suggest a
suitable span for the beam based on
the loading condition. How it will change the reaction at the fixed
support? What happens to the
shear force and bending moment values at the fixed support, free
end and at the center of the
beam? By plotting bending moment and shear force diagram for the
beam briefly conclude the
relationship between the values for shear force and bending
moment
