Soil Mechanics and Foundation The hydraulic head that would produce a quick condition in a sand stratum of thickness 1.5 m, specific gravity 2.67 and voids ratio 0.67 is equal to 2.0m 1.5m 3m 1.0m 2.0m 1.5m 3m 1.0m ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation The rise of water table below the foundation influences the bearing capacity of soil mainly by reducing effective unit weight of soil and effective angle of shearing resistance effective angle of shearing resistance cohesion and effective angle of shearing resistance cohesion and effective unit weight of soil effective unit weight of soil and effective angle of shearing resistance effective angle of shearing resistance cohesion and effective angle of shearing resistance cohesion and effective unit weight of soil ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Select the incorrect statement. Effective angle of shearing resistance 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 is rarely more than 30° for fine grained soil is limited to a maximum value of 45° ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation For better strength and stability, the fine grained soils and coarse grained soils are compacted respectively as dry of OMC and dry of OMC where OMC is optimum moisture content wet of OMC and dry of OMC dry of OMC and wet of OMC wet of OMC and wet of OMC dry of OMC and dry of OMC where OMC is optimum moisture content wet of OMC and dry of OMC dry of OMC and wet of OMC wet of OMC and wet of OMC ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
