Soil Mechanics and Foundation Sensitivity of a soil can be defined as ratio of volume of voids to volume of solids percentage of volume change of soil under saturated condition ratio of compressive strength of unconfined undisturbed soil to that of soil in a remoulded state None of these ratio of volume of voids to volume of solids percentage of volume change of soil under saturated condition ratio of compressive strength of unconfined undisturbed soil to that of soil in a remoulded state None of these ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation A tri-axial shear test is preferred to direct shear test, because It can be performed under all three drainage conditions with complete control None of these Stress distribution on the failure plane, is non uniform Precise measurement of pore pressure and change in volume during test, is not possible It can be performed under all three drainage conditions with complete control None of these Stress distribution on the failure plane, is non uniform Precise measurement of pore pressure and change in volume during test, is not possible ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
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 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 horizontal plane only both horizontal and vertical planes vertical plane only ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
