About this subject
Only two topics are tested: water content / index properties (oven drying, density index) and permeability (Darcy's law, constant head test, seepage velocity). Master both and you can attempt every question. There is almost no overlap with the SVU JCE-501 paper, which tests slopes, sheet piles, stabilization and machine foundations; only the compaction/water content idea is shared loosely.
