4. soils that are transported to their present locations by rivers and streams
5. as pore water pressure increases, effective stress
6. discharge velocity (v) is proportional to the hydraulic gradient (i)
9. the slope of the virgin consolidation line
10. the lowest water content at which the soil exhibits plastic characteristics
12. soil with hy hydroconductivity
14. The present effective stress is the maximum stress to which soil has been subjected in the past.
17. y is a measure of how easily a fluid can flow through a porous medium
19. total stress - pore pressure
21. The maximum past stress ( pressure)
23. one source of shear strength in soil

1. soil where all grain sizes well represented
2. Ratio an indicator of relative strength & compressibility of a soil sample
3. total headloss per unit length
6. effective size in particle analysis
7. Ratio of density of solids to the density of water
8. flow of water through soils
11. Ratio of maximum dry unit weight of field to max dry unit weight from lab
13. volume change in saturated soils caused by the expulsion of pore water from loading
15. Index Liquid Limit - Plastic Limit
16. unit weight γd, is defined as Ws /V
17. depth below the water table multiplied by unit weight of water
18. is the lowest water content at which the fine grained soil behaves like aviscous mud, flowing under its own weight
20. this soil is classified by silt or clay
22. a three phase (i.e., solid, liquid, gas) particulate material
