Soil Mechanics and Foundation The effect of cohesion on a soil is to reduce both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity increase both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity increase the active earth pressure in-tensity but to reduce the passive earth pressure intensity [GATE 99] reduce the active earth pressure in-tensity but to increase the passive earth pressure intensity reduce both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity increase both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity increase the active earth pressure in-tensity but to reduce the passive earth pressure intensity [GATE 99] reduce the active earth pressure in-tensity but to increase the passive earth pressure intensity ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Rise of water table above the ground surface causes Equal increase in pore water pressure and total stress Decrease in pore water pressure but increase in total stress Increase in pore water pressure but decrease in total stress Equal decrease in pore water pressure and total stress Equal increase in pore water pressure and total stress Decrease in pore water pressure but increase in total stress Increase in pore water pressure but decrease in total stress Equal decrease in pore water pressure and total stress ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation A retaining wall 6m high supports a backfill with a surcharge angle of 10°. The back of the wall is inclined to the vertical at a positive batter angle of 5°. If the angle of wall friction is 7°, then the resultant active earth pressure will act at a distance of 2 m above the base and inclined to the horizontal at an angle of 17° 12° 7° 10° 17° 12° 7° 10° ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP

Soil Mechanics and Foundation When the plastic limit of a soil is greater than the liquid limit, then the plasticity index is reported as negative zero non-plastic (NP) 1 negative zero non-plastic (NP) 1 ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation If the water table rises upto ground surface, then the effective stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but total stress does not change effective stress is reduced due to decrease in total stress only but pore water pressure does not change total stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but effective stress does not change total stress is increased due to decrease in pore water pressure but effective stress does not change effective stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but total stress does not change effective stress is reduced due to decrease in total stress only but pore water pressure does not change total stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but effective stress does not change total stress is increased due to decrease in pore water pressure but effective stress does not change ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
