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 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 horizontal plane only 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 Allowable bearing pressure for a foundation depends upon both allowable settlement and ultimate bearing capacity none of above ultimate bearing capacity of soil only allowable settlement only both allowable settlement and ultimate bearing capacity none of above ultimate bearing capacity of soil only allowable settlement only ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation For a loose sand sample and a dense sand sample consolidated to the same effective stress ultimate strength is same but peak strength of dense sand is greater than that of loose sand ultimate strength is same and also peak strength is same ultimate strength is same but peak ultimate strength is different but peak strength is same ultimate strength is same but peak strength of dense sand is greater than that of loose sand ultimate strength is same and also peak strength is same ultimate strength is same but peak ultimate strength is different but peak strength is same ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation A retaining wall 6m high supports a backfill with a surcharge angle of 10°. The back of the wall is inclined to the vertical at a positive batter angle of 5°. If the angle of wall friction is 7°, then the resultant active earth pressure will act at a distance of 2 m above the base and inclined to the horizontal at an angle of 10° 17° 12° 7° 10° 17° 12° 7° ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
