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 Precise measurement of pore pressure and change in volume during test, is not possible None of these It can be performed under all three drainage conditions with complete control Stress distribution on the failure plane, is non uniform Precise measurement of pore pressure and change in volume during test, is not possible None of these It can be performed under all three drainage conditions with complete control ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Coefficient of compressibility is constant for any type of soil different for different types of soils but same for a soil under different states of consolidation different for different types of soils and also different for a soil under different states of consolidation independent of type of soil but depends on the stress history of soil constant for any type of soil different for different types of soils but same for a soil under different states of consolidation different for different types of soils and also different for a soil under different states of consolidation independent of type of soil but depends on the stress history of soil ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
