Soil Mechanics and Foundation Which of the following statements is correct? For a well graded soil, both uniformity coefficient and coefficient of curvature are nearly unity. None of these Uniformity coefficient represents the shape of the particle size distribution curve. A soil is said to be well graded if it has most of the particles of about the same size For a well graded soil, both uniformity coefficient and coefficient of curvature are nearly unity. None of these Uniformity coefficient represents the shape of the particle size distribution curve. A soil is said to be well graded if it has most of the particles of about the same size ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
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 Stress distribution on the failure plane, is non uniform Precise measurement of pore pressure and change in volume during test, is not possible None of these It can be performed under all three drainage conditions with complete control Stress distribution on the failure plane, is non uniform Precise measurement of pore pressure and change in volume during test, is not possible None of these ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation The admixture of coarser particles like sand or silt to clay causes decrease in liquid limit and no change in plasticity index increase in both liquid limit and plasticity index decrease in liquid limit and increase in plasticity index decrease in both liquid limit and plasticity index decrease in liquid limit and no change in plasticity index increase in both liquid limit and plasticity index decrease in liquid limit and increase in plasticity index decrease in both liquid limit and plasticity index ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Coefficient of consolidation for clays normally first increases and then decreases with increase in liquid limit remains constant at all liquid limits decreases with increase in liquid limit increases with increase in liquid limit first increases and then decreases with increase in liquid limit remains constant at all liquid limits decreases with increase in liquid limit increases with increase in liquid limit ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
