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 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° 0.05 N/mm² and 0° 0.2 N/mm² and 0° 0.5 N/mm² and 30° 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 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 10 mm 20 mm 40 mm None of these 10 mm 20 mm 40 mm None of these ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
