Study the given statements with respect to soak pits and choose the correct option. 1. Soak pits are preferable at locations, where the water table level is high. 2. Soak pits are preferable at locations where soil is porous.

Study the given statements with respect to soak pits and choose the correct option. 1. Soak pits are preferable at locations, where the water table level is high. 2. Soak pits are preferable at locations where soil is porous. Correct Answer Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true

Explanation:

Soak pit: 

  • A soak pit, also known as a soakaway or leach pit, is a covered, porous-walled chamber that allows water to slowly soak into the ground.
  • A soak pit is a covered, porous-walled chamber that allows water to slowly soak into the ground and also known as a soakaway or leach pit, and the pre-settled sewage from the septic tank is release to the underground chamber from where it infiltrates into the neighboring soils.
  • So soak pits are preferred where the soil is porous in nature.

The soil profile at a site up to a depth of 10 m is show in the figure (not drawn to the scale). The soil is preloaded with a uniform surcharge (q) of 70 kN/m2 at the ground level. The water table is at a depth of 3 m below ground level. The soil unit weight of the respective layers is shown in the figure. Consider unit weight of water as 9.81 kN/m3 and assume that the surcharge (q) is applied instantaneously Immediately after preloading, the effective stresses (in kPa) at points P and Q, respectively, are
