does apprenticeship count as work experience or not ?

  Does 01 year apprenticeship training will count as a work experience? I know, many student have this doubt that whether apprenticeship training will count as a work experience or not ? and it should be. So let me tell you today and clear your doubt about apprenticeship training  count as a work experience .  W ell, when I also completed my apprenticeship training, I had also this doubt in my mind. Then I searched and read about it many places and finally I got the proof of  apprenticeship training will count as a work experience.  My finally answer is YES  apprenticeship training will count or consider as a work experien ce. I share with you the proof this.    Click Here   (Go to  http://portal.mhrdnats.gov.in > Help > Process Manual (English) > Page No. 16 > Benefits to students > Point No. 10) Note:- The apprentice which is under the Ministry of Skill Devlopment & Entrepreneurship, in which the All india level exam (AITT) is done after doing the apprenticeship tr

Question Bank of Geotechnical Engineering  (Slope Stability) 

1. What is slide ?

  • The failure of a mass of soil located beneath a slope is called a slide.

2. The causes for failure of slope.

  • The action of gravitational forces, and
  • Seepage forces within the soil.
  • Failure due to undercutting of its foot.
  • Failure due to disintegration
  • n of the structure of the soil.

3. The types of slope.

Infinite slope

  • If a slope represents the boundary surface of a semi-infinite soil mass, and the soil properties for all identical depths below the surface are constant, it is called an infinite slope.

Finite slope

  • If a slope is of limited extent, it is called finite slope.

4. Basic types of failure of a finite slope.

  • Slope failure
  • Base failure

5. The types of slip surfaces or failure surfaces

  • Planner failure surface
  • Circular failure surface
  • Non- circular failure surface

6. The method of analysis for stability of a finite slope

  • Culmann's method of planner failure surface
  • The Swedish circle method or Slip circle method
  • The friction circle method
  • Bishop's method

7. Controlling measures for slope protection.

The controlling measures for the protection of slope can be taken by

  • Providing retaining wall on the side of filing
  • Providing good base course for the soil.
  • Making top surface as hard layer.

8. What is slope failure ?

  • If the failure occurs along a surface of sliding that intersects the slope at or above its toe, the slide is known as slope failure.

9. What is face failure ?

  • If the arc passes above the toe is called face failure.

10. What is toe failure ?

  • If the arc passes through the toe is called toe failure.

11. What is base ?

  • If the soil beneath the toe of the slope is weak the failure occurs along a surface  passes at someone distance below the toe of the slope. Such type of failure is called base failure.

12. Under what circumstances planar failure will occur?

  • Planar failure surface may commonly occur in a soil deposit or embankment with a specific plane of weakness. Excavation in stratified deposit quite often leads to a planar failure surface along a plane parallel to the strata.

13. How the stability of slope of an earthen dam will you analyze?

  • Stability of downstream slope during steady seepage.
  • Stability of upstream slope during sudden drawdown.
  • Stability of upstream and downstream slopes during and immediately after the construction.

14. Forces acting on the sliding wedge in the friction circle method.

  • The weight of the wedge
  • The total frictional resistance
  • Total cohesive resistance

15. Factor of safety used in stability Analysis of slopes with respect ?

  • To cohesion assuming to be fully mobilized.
  • To friction assuming to be fully mobilized.
  • To shear strength
  • To height.
