Soil Mechanics and Foundation A normally consolidated clay settled 10 mm when effective stress was increased from 100 kN/m2 to 200 kN/ m2. If the effective stress is further increased from 200 kN/ m2 to 400 kN/ m2, then the settlement of the same clay is None of these 20 mm 10 mm 40 mm None of these 20 mm 10 mm 40 mm ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation The major principal stress in an element of cohesion-less soil within the backfill of a retaining wall is Inclined at 45° to the vertical plane None of these Vertical if the soil is in a passive state of plastic equilibrium Vertical if the soil is in an active state of plastic equilibrium Inclined at 45° to the vertical plane None of these Vertical if the soil is in a passive state of plastic equilibrium Vertical if the soil is in an active state of plastic equilibrium 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°.
