Soil Mechanics and Foundation In a triaxial compression test when drainage is allowed during the first stage (i. e. application of cell pressure) only and not during the second stage (i.e. application of deviator stress at constant cell pressure), the test is known as unconsolidated undrained test unconsolidated drained test consolidated drained test consolidated undrained test unconsolidated undrained test unconsolidated drained test consolidated drained test consolidated undrained test ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Select the incorrect statement. Effective angle of shearing resistance is rarely more than 30° for fine grained soil is limited to a maximum value of 45° increases as the soil gradation im-proves increases as the size of particles increases is rarely more than 30° for fine grained soil is limited to a maximum value of 45° increases as the soil gradation im-proves increases as the size of particles increases 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 17° 7° 12° 10° 17° 7° 12° 10° ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
