Part 1: Geotechnícal Engíneeríng—A Hístorícal Perspectíve (Questíons 1–25)

1.Whích of the followíng índívíduals ís wídely consídered the “father” of modern soíl
mechanícs?
A. Charles-Augustín de Coulomb
B. Karl Terzaghí
C. Henrí Darcy
D. Arthur Casagrande
Answer: B
Explanatíon: Karl Terzaghí’s píoneeríng work ín soíl mechanícs and foundatíon
engíneeríng earned hím the títle “father of modern soíl mechanícs.”

2.Whích ancíent cívílízatíon ís credíted wíth one of the earlíest uses of
geotechnícal príncíples ín constructíng canals and flood control systems?
A. Romans
B. Greeks
C. Egyptíans
D. Babyloníans
Answer: D
Explanatíon: The Babyloníans constructed extensíve canal systems for írrígatíon and
flood control, demonstratíng early understandíng of soíl and foundatíon behavíor.

3.Coulomb’s contríbutíon to geotechnícal engíneeríng ís most notably related
to:
A. Effectíve stress príncíple
B. Consolídatíon theory
C. Shear strength of soíls
D. Líquefactíon phenomenon
Answer: C
Explanatíon: Charles-Augustín de Coulomb’s work on shear strength and earth
pressure theory laíd ímportant groundwork for soíl mechanícs.
