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 vertical plane only horizontal plane only both horizontal and vertical planes all planes except horizontal and vertical planes vertical plane only horizontal plane only both horizontal and vertical planes all planes except horizontal and vertical planes ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation The major principal stress in an element of cohesion-less soil within the backfill of a retaining wall is None of these Vertical if the soil is in an active state of plastic equilibrium Inclined at 45° to the vertical plane Vertical if the soil is in a passive state of plastic equilibrium None of these Vertical if the soil is in an active state of plastic equilibrium Inclined at 45° to the vertical plane Vertical if the soil is in a passive state of plastic equilibrium ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation If the water table rises upto ground surface, then the total stress is increased due to decrease in pore water pressure but effective stress does not change effective stress is reduced due to decrease in total stress only but pore water pressure does not change total stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but effective stress does not change effective stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but total stress does not change total stress is increased due to decrease in pore water pressure but effective stress does not change effective stress is reduced due to decrease in total stress only but pore water pressure does not change total stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but effective stress does not change effective stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but total stress does not change 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 0.5 N/mm² and 30° 0.05 N/mm² and 45° 0.05 N/mm² and 0° 0.2 N/mm² and 0° 0.5 N/mm² and 30° 0.05 N/mm² and 45° 0.05 N/mm² and 0° 0.2 N/mm² and 0° ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation A 600 mm square bearing plate settles by 15 mm in plate load test on a cohesionless soil under an intensity of loading of 0.2 N/ram2. The settlement of a prototype shallow footing 1 m square under the same intensity of loading is 25 mm 15 mm greater than 25 mm between 15 mm and 25 mm 25 mm 15 mm greater than 25 mm between 15 mm and 25 mm ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
