  1. What is the density index?
  2. In liquefaction the soil has a very low density index. What is liquefaction?
  3. How can liquefaction be prevented? Which is not one?
  4. Soil classification Sands and gravels as done in lab, which of these is a correct process for determining the properties of a sand or gravel?
  5. By doing this test we can plot a graph displaying the soil properties, which of these is not a coefficient that can be found from this graph?
  6. How do we find the uniform/hazen coeffcient?
  7. How then do we find the coeffcient of curvature?
