Soil Mechanics and Foundation A cylindrical specimen of saturated soil failed under an axial vertical stress of 100kN/m2 when it was laterally unconfmed. The failure plane was inclined to the horizontal plane at an angle of 45°. The values of cohesion and angle of internal friction for the soil are respectively 0.05 N/mm² and 0° 0.2 N/mm² and 0° 0.5 N/mm² and 30° 0.05 N/mm² and 45° 0.05 N/mm² and 0° 0.2 N/mm² and 0° 0.5 N/mm² and 30° 0.05 N/mm² and 45° 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 is rarely more than 30° for fine grained soil increases as the size of particles increases is limited to a maximum value of 45° increases as the soil gradation im-proves is rarely more than 30° for fine grained soil increases as the size of particles increases ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
