Soil Mechanics and Foundation A tri-axial shear test is preferred to direct shear test, because Stress distribution on the failure plane, is non uniform It can be performed under all three drainage conditions with complete control None of these Precise measurement of pore pressure and change in volume during test, is not possible Stress distribution on the failure plane, is non uniform It can be performed under all three drainage conditions with complete control None of these Precise measurement of pore pressure and change in volume during test, is not possible ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Coefficient of compressibility is independent of type of soil but depends on the stress history of soil different for different types of soils but same for a soil under different states of consolidation different for different types of soils and also different for a soil under different states of consolidation constant for any type of soil independent of type of soil but depends on the stress history of soil different for different types of soils but same for a soil under different states of consolidation different for different types of soils and also different for a soil under different states of consolidation constant for any type of soil 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 horizontal plane only all planes except horizontal and vertical planes vertical plane only both horizontal and vertical planes horizontal plane only all planes except horizontal and vertical planes vertical plane only both horizontal and vertical planes ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation The ultimate consolidation settlement of a structure resting on a soil Increases with the decrease in the porosity of the soil Decreases with the decrease in the plastic limit Decreases with the increase in the initial voids ratio Increases with the increase in the initial voids ratio Increases with the decrease in the porosity of the soil Decreases with the decrease in the plastic limit Decreases with the increase in the initial voids ratio Increases with the increase in the initial voids ratio ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Due to a rise in temperature, the viscosity and the unit weight of the percolating fluid are reduced to 60% and 90% respectively.If other things remain constant, the coefficient of permeability increases by 50% increases by 25% increases by 33.3% decreases by 33.3% increases by 50% increases by 25% increases by 33.3% decreases by 33.3% ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
