Soil Mechanics and Foundation The ultimate consolidation settlement of a structure resting on a soil Increases with the decrease in the porosity of the soil Decreases with the increase in the initial voids ratio Increases with the increase in the initial voids ratio Decreases with the decrease in the plastic limit Increases with the decrease in the porosity of the soil Decreases with the increase in the initial voids ratio Increases with the increase in the initial voids ratio Decreases with the decrease in the plastic limit ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation A normally consolidated clay settled 10 mm when effective stress was increased from 100 kN/m2 to 200 kN/ m2. If the effective stress is further increased from 200 kN/ m2 to 400 kN/ m2, then the settlement of the same clay is 20 mm 40 mm None of these 10 mm 20 mm 40 mm None of these 10 mm ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP

Soil Mechanics and Foundation Select the incorrect statement. Effective angle of shearing resistance 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 is rarely more than 30° for fine grained soil ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation For a loose sand sample and a dense sand sample consolidated to the same effective stress ultimate strength is same but peak strength of dense sand is greater than that of loose sand ultimate strength is different but peak strength is same ultimate strength is same and also peak strength is same ultimate strength is same but peak ultimate strength is same but peak strength of dense sand is greater than that of loose sand ultimate strength is different but peak strength is same ultimate strength is same and also peak strength is same ultimate strength is same but peak ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
