- If the water table rises upto ground surface, then the
- Total number of stress components at a point within a soil mass loaded at its boundary is
- Constant head permeameter is used to test permeability of
- Bishop’s method of stability analysis
- The water content of soil, which represents the boundary between plastic state and liquid state, is known as
- Which of the following types of soil is transported by gravitational forces ?
- If a cohesive soil specimen is subjected to a vertical compressive load, the inclination of the cracks to the horizontal is
- If the shearing stress is zero on two planes, then the angle between the two planes is
- Allowable bearing pressure for a foundation depends upon
- The shear strength of a soil
A.
effective stress is reduced due to decrease in total stress only but pore water pressure does not change |
B.
effective stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but total stress does not change |
C.
total stress is reduced due to increase in pore water pressure only but effective stress does not change |
D.
total stress is increased due to decrease in pore water pressure but effective stress does not change |
