Soil Mechanics and Foundation A tri-axial shear test is preferred to direct shear test, because Stress distribution on the failure plane, is non uniform It can be performed under all three drainage conditions with complete control None of these Precise measurement of pore pressure and change in volume during test, is not possible Stress distribution on the failure plane, is non uniform It can be performed under all three drainage conditions with complete control None of these Precise measurement of pore pressure and change in volume during test, is not possible ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
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 drained test consolidated undrained test unconsolidated undrained test unconsolidated drained test consolidated drained test consolidated undrained test unconsolidated undrained test unconsolidated drained test ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Bishop’s method of stability analysis assumes the slip surface as an arc of a circle neglects the effect of forces acting on the sides of the slices All of these is more conservative assumes the slip surface as an arc of a circle neglects the effect of forces acting on the sides of the slices All of these is more conservative ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
