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 0.2 N/mm² and 0° 0.05 N/mm² and 45° 0.05 N/mm² and 0° 0.5 N/mm² and 30° 0.2 N/mm² and 0° 0.05 N/mm² and 45° 0.05 N/mm² and 0° 0.5 N/mm² and 30° 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 7° 17° 10° 12° 7° 17° 10° 12° ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation If the water table rises upto ground surface, then the total stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but effective stress does not change effective stress is reduced due to decrease in total stress only but pore water pressure 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 total stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but effective stress does not change effective stress is reduced due to decrease in total stress only but pore water pressure 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 ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
