Soil Mechanics and Foundation In the triaxial compression test, the application of additional axial stress (i.e. deviator stress) on the soil specimen produces shear stress on horizontal plane only all planes except horizontal and vertical planes both horizontal and vertical planes vertical plane only horizontal plane only all planes except horizontal and vertical planes both horizontal and vertical planes vertical plane only 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 7° 17° 10° 12° 7° 17° 10° 12° ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
