Soil Mechanics and Foundation Sensitivity of a soil can be defined as ratio of volume of voids to volume of solids None of these percentage of volume change of soil under saturated condition ratio of compressive strength of unconfined undisturbed soil to that of soil in a remoulded state ratio of volume of voids to volume of solids None of these percentage of volume change of soil under saturated condition ratio of compressive strength of unconfined undisturbed soil to that of soil in a remoulded state 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 Vertical if the soil is in an active state of plastic equilibrium Vertical if the soil is in a passive state of plastic equilibrium Inclined at 45° to the vertical plane None of these Vertical if the soil is in an active state of plastic equilibrium Vertical if the soil is in a passive state of plastic equilibrium Inclined at 45° to the vertical plane None of these 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 both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity reduce the active earth pressure in-tensity but to increase the passive earth pressure intensity increase the active earth pressure in-tensity but to reduce the passive earth pressure intensity [GATE 99] reduce both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity increase both the active earth pressure intensity and passive earth pressure intensity reduce the active earth pressure in-tensity but to increase the passive earth pressure intensity increase the active earth pressure in-tensity but to reduce the passive earth pressure intensity [GATE 99] ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
