Civil Engineering: Fluid Mechanics, Soil Mechanics,
and Foundation PrinciplesQuestions And Answers
2025\2026
What is non-uniform flow? - CORRECT ANSWER-Flow where velocities
of fluid particles vary from point to point in magnitude and direction, as
well as from instant to instant.
Which factor least affects shear strength of soil? - CORRECT ANSWER-
None of the choices; all listed factors (particle size, density, moisture
content) affect shear strength.
What is true about Bernoulli's equation? - CORRECT ANSWER-It
assumes no energy loss due to friction.
What does an unconfined compression test not apply to? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Dry sands.
What condition likely triggered slope failure in Nueva Ecija? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Pore pressure increase.
