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 both horizontal and vertical planes vertical plane only horizontal plane only all planes except horizontal and vertical planes both horizontal and vertical planes vertical plane only horizontal plane only all planes except horizontal and vertical planes ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP

Soil Mechanics and Foundation Select the incorrect statement. Effective angle of shearing resistance is limited to a maximum value of 45° increases as the soil gradation im-proves increases as the size of particles increases is rarely more than 30° for fine grained soil is limited to a maximum value of 45° increases as the soil gradation im-proves increases as the size of particles increases is rarely more than 30° for fine grained 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 0.05 N/mm² and 0° 0.05 N/mm² and 45° 0.5 N/mm² and 30° 0.2 N/mm² and 0° 0.05 N/mm² and 0° 0.05 N/mm² and 45° 0.5 N/mm² and 30° 0.2 N/mm² and 0° ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation The admixture of coarser particles like sand or silt to clay causes increase in both liquid limit and plasticity index decrease in both liquid limit and plasticity index decrease in liquid limit and no change in plasticity index decrease in liquid limit and increase in plasticity index increase in both liquid limit and plasticity index decrease in both liquid limit and plasticity index decrease in liquid limit and no change in plasticity index decrease in liquid limit and increase in plasticity index ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
