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 3 months 12 months 6 months 24 months 3 months 12 months 6 months 24 months 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 increase in the initial voids ratio Increases with the increase in the initial voids ratio Decreases with the decrease in the plastic limit Increases with the decrease in the porosity of the soil Decreases with the increase in the initial voids ratio Increases with the increase in the initial voids ratio Decreases with the decrease in the plastic limit 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 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 independent of specific gravity of soil greater than specific gravity of soil ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
