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 unconsolidated undrained test consolidated undrained test unconsolidated drained test consolidated drained test unconsolidated undrained test consolidated undrained test unconsolidated drained test consolidated drained test ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation A normally consolidated clay settled 10 mm when effective stress was increased from 100 kN/m2 to 200 kN/ m2. If the effective stress is further increased from 200 kN/ m2 to 400 kN/ m2, then the settlement of the same clay is 20 mm 10 mm 40 mm None of these 20 mm 10 mm 40 mm None of these ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP

Soil Mechanics and Foundation A cylindrical specimen of saturated soil failed under an axial vertical stress of 100kN/m2 when it was laterally unconfmed. The failure plane was inclined to the horizontal plane at an angle of 45°. The values of cohesion and angle of internal friction for the soil are respectively 0.2 N/mm² and 0° 0.05 N/mm² and 45° 0.5 N/mm² and 30° 0.05 N/mm² and 0° 0.2 N/mm² and 0° 0.05 N/mm² and 45° 0.5 N/mm² and 30° 0.05 N/mm² and 0° ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
