Soil Mechanics and Foundation If the water table rises upto ground surface, then the total stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but effective stress does not change effective stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but total 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 total stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but effective stress does not change effective stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but total 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 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
