Soil Mechanics and Foundation The ultimate consolidation settlement of a structure resting on a soil Decreases with the increase in the initial voids ratio Decreases with the decrease in the plastic limit Increases with the increase in the initial voids ratio Increases with the decrease in the porosity of the soil Decreases with the increase in the initial voids ratio Decreases with the decrease in the plastic limit Increases with the increase in the initial voids ratio Increases with the decrease in the porosity of the soil ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation The effect of cohesion on a soil is to 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 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 ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation If the water table rises upto ground surface, then the effective stress is reduced due to decrease in total stress only but pore water pressure does not change total stress is increased due to decrease in pore water pressure but effective stress does not change total stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but effective stress does not change effective stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but total stress does not change effective stress is reduced due to decrease in total stress only but pore water pressure does not change total stress is increased due to decrease in pore water pressure but effective stress does not change total stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but effective stress does not change effective stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but total stress does not change ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
