When does a quick sand condition is developed in soil?
Question

When does a quick sand condition is developed in soil?

A.

Head causing downward flow is decreased

B.

Head causing upward flow is increased

C.

Head causing upward flow is decreased

D.

Head causing downward flow is increased

Correct option is B



A quick sand condition develops when the head causing upward flow of water through the soil increases significantly. This condition occurs when the upward flow of water exceeds the weight of the soil particles, causing them to lose contact with each other and behave like a fluid. This makes the soil lose its strength, and the soil particles begin to move, resulting in the "quick sand" effect.
