A designer used plate load test to obtain the value of the bearing capacity factor $\mathrm{N}_\gamma$. A circular plate of 1 m diameter was placed on the surface of a dry sand layer extending very deep beneath the ground. The unit weight of the sand is $16.66 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}^3$. The plate is loaded to failure at a pressure of 1500 kPa .
Considering Terzaghi's bearing capacity theory, the bearing capacity factor $\mathrm{N}_\gamma$ is________ (round off to the nearest integer).
A $4 \times 4$ group pile, with each pile 20 m long and 500 mm in diameter, is installed in a square pattern in a clayey soil, as shown in the figure. The average unconfined compressive strength of the soil is $100 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}^2$, and the adhesion factor is 0.8 . Neglect the bearing at the tip of the piles. For a group efficiency factor of 1.0 , the centre to centre spacing (s) of the piles (in m ) would be ________ (round off to two decimal places).
In the context of the effect of drainage density on the run-off generation and the hydrograph at the catchment outlet, all other factors remaining the same, pick one or more CORRECT statement(s) from the choices given below.
A 60 cm diameter well completely penetrates a confined aquifer of permeability $5 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. The length of the strainer (spanning the entire thickness of the aquifer) is 10 m . The drawdown at the well under steady state pumping is 1.0 m . Assume that the radius of influence for this pumping is 300 m .
The discharge from the well (in litres per minute) is ________ (round off to the nearest integer).
