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 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 both horizontal and vertical planes ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Sensitivity of a soil can be defined as ratio of volume of voids to volume of solids ratio of compressive strength of unconfined undisturbed soil to that of soil in a remoulded state None of these percentage of volume change of soil under saturated condition ratio of volume of voids to volume of solids ratio of compressive strength of unconfined undisturbed soil to that of soil in a remoulded state None of these percentage of volume change of soil under saturated condition 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 both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity reduce both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity increase the active earth pressure in-tensity but to reduce the passive earth pressure intensity [GATE 99] reduce the active earth pressure in-tensity but to increase the passive earth pressure intensity increase both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity reduce both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity increase the active earth pressure in-tensity but to reduce the passive earth pressure intensity [GATE 99] ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
