Soil Mechanics and Foundation The effect of cohesion on a soil is to increase the active earth pressure in-tensity but to reduce the passive earth pressure intensity [GATE 99] reduce the active earth pressure in-tensity but to increase the passive earth pressure intensity increase both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity reduce both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity increase the active earth pressure in-tensity but to reduce the passive earth pressure intensity [GATE 99] reduce the active earth pressure in-tensity but to increase the passive earth pressure intensity increase both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity reduce both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation If the water content of a fully saturated soil mass is 100%, then the voids ratio of the sample is independent of specific gravity of soil greater than specific gravity of soil equal to specific gravity of soil less than specific gravity of soil independent of specific gravity of soil greater than specific gravity of soil equal to specific gravity of soil less than specific gravity of soil 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 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 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 ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation A tri-axial shear test is preferred to direct shear test, because 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 Stress distribution on the failure plane, is non uniform It can be performed under all three drainage conditions with complete control ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
