Soil Mechanics and Foundation Due to a rise in temperature, the viscosity and the unit weight of the percolating fluid are reduced to 60% and 90% respectively.If other things remain constant, the coefficient of permeability increases by 50% increases by 25% decreases by 33.3% increases by 33.3% increases by 50% increases by 25% decreases by 33.3% increases by 33.3% ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation The ultimate consolidation settlement of a structure resting on a soil Increases with the decrease in the porosity of the soil Decreases with the increase in the initial voids ratio Increases with the increase in the initial voids ratio Decreases with the decrease in the plastic limit Increases with the decrease in the porosity of the soil Decreases with the increase in the initial voids ratio Increases with the increase in the initial voids ratio Decreases with the decrease in the plastic limit ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Clay layer A with single drainage and coefficient of consolidation Cv takes 6 months to achieve 50% consolidation. The time taken by clay layer B of the same thickness with double drainage and coefficient of consolidation Cv/2 to achieve the same degree of consolidation is 12 months 3 months 24 months 6 months 12 months 3 months 24 months 6 months ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation In a deposit of normally consolidated clay effective stress, water content and undrained strength decrease with depth effective stress increases with depth but water content of soil and un-drained strength decrease with depth effective stress and water content increase with depth but undrained strength decreases with depth effective stress and undrained strength increase with depth but water content decreases with depth effective stress, water content and undrained strength decrease with depth effective stress increases with depth but water content of soil and un-drained strength decrease with depth effective stress and water content increase with depth but undrained strength decreases with depth effective stress and undrained strength increase with depth but water content decreases with depth ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
