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 Clay layer A with single drainage and coefficient of consolidation Cv takes 6 months to achieve 50% consolidation. The time taken by clay layer B of the same thickness with double drainage and coefficient of consolidation Cv/2 to achieve the same degree of consolidation is 6 months 3 months 24 months 12 months 6 months 3 months 24 months 12 months ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation In a consolidated drained test on a normally consolidated clay, the volume of the soil sample during shear first increases and then decreases increases decreases remains unchanged first increases and then decreases increases decreases remains unchanged 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
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Coefficient of compressibility is different for different types of soils and also different for a soil under different states of consolidation independent of type of soil but depends on the stress history of soil constant for any type 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 independent of type of soil but depends on the stress history of soil constant for any type of soil different for different types of soils but same for a soil under different states of consolidation ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
