Soil Mechanics and Foundation During the first stage of triaxial test when the cell pressure is increased from 0.10 N/mm² to 0.26 N/mm², the pore water pressure increases from 0.07 N/mm² to 0.15 “N/mm². Skempton’s pore pressure parameter B is 0.5 2 -0.5 -2 0.5 2 -0.5 -2 ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation In a triaxial compression test when drainage is allowed during the first stage (i. e. application of cell pressure) only and not during the second stage (i.e. application of deviator stress at constant cell pressure), the test is known as consolidated undrained test consolidated drained test unconsolidated drained test unconsolidated undrained test consolidated undrained test consolidated drained test unconsolidated drained test unconsolidated undrained test ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
