Soil Mechanics and Foundation In the triaxial compression test, the application of additional axial stress (i.e. deviator stress) on the soil specimen produces shear stress on all planes except horizontal and vertical planes both horizontal and vertical planes horizontal plane only vertical plane only all planes except horizontal and vertical planes both horizontal and vertical planes horizontal plane only vertical plane only ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Within the consolidation process of a saturated clay both neutral pressure and effective pressure increase a gradual increase in neutral pressure and a gradual decrease in effective pressure takes place and sum of the two is constant both neutral pressure and effective pressure decrease a gradual decrease in neutral pressure and a gradual increase in effective pressure takes place and sum of the two is constant both neutral pressure and effective pressure increase a gradual increase in neutral pressure and a gradual decrease in effective pressure takes place and sum of the two is constant both neutral pressure and effective pressure decrease a gradual decrease in neutral pressure and a gradual increase in effective pressure takes place and sum of the two is constant ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Select the incorrect statement. Effective angle of shearing resistance is rarely more than 30° for fine grained soil is limited to a maximum value of 45° increases as the soil gradation im-proves increases as the size of particles increases is rarely more than 30° for fine grained soil is limited to a maximum value of 45° increases as the soil gradation im-proves increases as the size of particles increases ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation The maximum dry density upto which any soil can be compacted depends upon amount of compaction energy only moisture content only None of these both moisture content and amount of compaction energy amount of compaction energy only moisture content only None of these both moisture content and amount of compaction energy ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
