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 2 -2 -0.5 0.5 2 -2 -0.5 0.5 ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
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 both horizontal and vertical planes horizontal plane only vertical plane only all planes except horizontal and vertical planes both horizontal and vertical planes horizontal plane only vertical plane only all planes except horizontal and vertical planes ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Stoke’s law is valid only if the size of particle is greater than 0.2 mm between 0.2 mm and 0.0002 mm All of these less than 0.0002 mm greater than 0.2 mm between 0.2 mm and 0.0002 mm All of these less than 0.0002 mm ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation If the water table rises upto ground surface, then the effective stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but total stress 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 decrease in total stress only but pore water pressure does not change effective stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but total stress 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 decrease in total stress only but pore water pressure does not change ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
