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 A soil is said to be well graded if it has most of the particles of about the same size Uniformity coefficient represents the shape of the particle size distribution curve. For a well graded soil, both uniformity coefficient and coefficient of curvature are nearly unity.

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 20 mm 10 mm None of these 40 mm 20 mm 10 mm None of these 40 mm ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
