Soil Mechanics and Foundation The effect of cohesion on a soil is to increase both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity reduce the active earth pressure in-tensity but to increase the passive earth pressure intensity reduce both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity increase the active earth pressure in-tensity but to reduce the passive earth pressure intensity [GATE 99] increase both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity reduce the active earth pressure in-tensity but to increase the passive earth pressure intensity reduce both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity increase the active earth pressure in-tensity but to reduce the passive earth pressure intensity [GATE 99] ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation A tri-axial shear test is preferred to direct shear test, because 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 Stress distribution on the failure plane, is non uniform Precise measurement of pore pressure and change in volume during test, is not possible 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 unconsolidated undrained test unconsolidated drained test consolidated undrained test consolidated drained test unconsolidated undrained test unconsolidated drained test consolidated undrained test ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
