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 horizontal plane only both horizontal and vertical planes vertical plane only all planes except horizontal and vertical planes horizontal plane only both horizontal and vertical planes vertical plane only all planes except horizontal and vertical planes ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation The shear strength of a soil Decreases with decrease in normal stress Decreases with increase in normal stress Is inversely proportional to the angle of internal friction of the soil Is directly proportional to the angle of internal friction of the soil Decreases with decrease in normal stress Decreases with increase in normal stress Is inversely proportional to the angle of internal friction of the soil Is directly proportional to the angle of internal friction of the soil 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° 0.05 N/mm² and 0° 0.5 N/mm² and 30° 0.2 N/mm² and 0° 0.05 N/mm² and 45° 0.05 N/mm² and 0° 0.5 N/mm² and 30° ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
