I guess it's inversely proportionally to void radio.

Danesh said:   1 decade ago
Directly proportional to Specific gravity also. Actually,

i = (G-1)/(1+e) where i is critical gradient.

G is spec. gr.
e is void ratio.

Directly proportional to G-1. And inversely proportional to 1+e. That's why answer (E).

Paras Nayyar said:   10 years ago
Since 1 is constant so i is directly proportional to G and inversely proportional to e.

Yogesh said:   10 years ago
We always neglect constant for defining proportionality relationship. As here answers are more than one hence answer is none of above.

Its has directly proportional to G and inversely proportional to E. So answer should be c and d. But there is no this type of answer so it will non of these.

The answer is directly proportional to the specific gravity because no matter of G-1. G is maximum as compared to 1. So directly proportional to the specific gravity.

Insan said:   9 years ago
According to me, it is G/e.

The critical exist gradient of seepage water in soils, is increased with increase in specific gravity.

The critical exist gradient of seepage water in soils, is increase with decrease void ratio.

it's not quick sand condition given is seepage exit gradient.

Exit gradient = (delta h/Nd) * (1/delta L).
