Soil Mechanics and Foundation In the plate loading test for determining the bearing capacity of soil, the size of square bearing plate should be less than 300 mm between 300 mm and 750 mm between 750 mm and 1 m greater than 1 m less than 300 mm between 300 mm and 750 mm between 750 mm and 1 m greater than 1 m ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
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 -0.5 -2 0.5 2 -0.5 -2 0.5 ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Coefficient of compressibility is constant for any type of soil different for different types of soils and also different for a soil under different states of consolidation different for different types of soils but same for a soil under different states of consolidation independent of type of soil but depends on the stress history of soil constant for any type of soil different for different types of soils and also different for a soil under different states of consolidation different for different types of soils but same for a soil under different states of consolidation independent of type of soil but depends on the stress history of soil 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 40 mm 10 mm None of these 20 mm 40 mm 10 mm None of these 20 mm ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Contact pressure beneath a rigid footing resting on cohesive soil is None of these less at edges compared to middle more at edges compared to middle uniform throughout None of these less at edges compared to middle more at edges compared to middle uniform throughout ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation The effect of cohesion on a soil is to reduce the active earth pressure in-tensity but to increase the passive earth pressure intensity increase the active earth pressure in-tensity but to reduce the passive earth pressure intensity [GATE 99] reduce both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity 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 increase the active earth pressure in-tensity but to reduce the passive earth pressure intensity [GATE 99] reduce both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity increase both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
