- For better strength and stability, the fine grained soils and coarse grained soils are compacted respectively as
A.
effective stress increases with depth but water content of soil and un-drained strength decrease with depth |
B.
effective stress and water content increase with depth but undrained strength decreases with depth |
C.
effective stress and undrained strength increase with depth but water content decreases with depth |
D.
effective stress, water content and undrained strength decrease with depth |
