The bearing capacity of sandy soil and gravelly soils is affected to the extent of ___________% by the presence of water table.

The bearing capacity of sandy soil and gravelly soils is affected to the extent of ___________% by the presence of water table. Correct Answer 50

If the water table is above the foundation level, the water should be pumped out before placing the steel plate. If water is made with at a depth of one metre below the level of the foundation level, the load test should be carried out at that level.

A teacher is trying to introduce her class VII students to different kinds of soil. She begins by introducing the names of three kinds of soil i.e. sandy soils, clayey soil and loamy soil. She explains the properties of each soil in term of its particulate nature. She then demonstrates one sample of each kind of soil and shows the students the difference in percolation rate of an examples. How would you evaluate this approach from an inquiry oriented perspective?
