Soil Mechanics and Foundation The water content of soil, which represents the boundary between plastic state and liquid state, is known as plastic limit plasticity index liquid limit shrinkage limit plastic limit plasticity index liquid limit shrinkage 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 40 mm 10 mm 20 mm None of these 40 mm 10 mm 20 mm None of these 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 total stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but effective 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 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 total stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but effective 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 increased due to decrease in pore water pressure but effective stress does not change ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation In a consolidated drained test on a normally consolidated clay, the volume of the soil sample during shear first increases and then decreases remains unchanged decreases increases first increases and then decreases remains unchanged decreases increases 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° 10° 12° 7° 17° 10° 12° 7° ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation With the increase in the amount of compaction energy optimum water content decreases but maximum dry density increases both optimum water content and maximum dry density decrease[ES 93] both optimum water content and maximum dry density increase optimum water content increases but maximum dry density decreases optimum water content decreases but maximum dry density increases both optimum water content and maximum dry density decrease[ES 93] both optimum water content and maximum dry density increase optimum water content increases but maximum dry density decreases ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
