5. There will be two distinct
shear stress limits (i.e. peak and ultimate shear strength)
for:
6. Which test is more suitable
to analyse the short-term behaviour of a foundation on a saturated
clay
7. In a triaxial test for the
normally consolidated clay, chamber confining pressure = 150 kN/m2
and deviator stress = 250 kN/m2. What is the effective major
principal stress?
8. Friction angle of dry sand
is 35o. In a direct shear test on this sand, a normal
stress of 200kPa was applied. What shear stress will cause the
failure?
9. What is the definition of
compression index of soil?
10. A clay layer (double
drainage) of 50 m thickness showed 10mm settlement after 200 days.
What is the degree of consolidation of clay soon after load applied
(at time=0) ?
(a) 50% (b)
100%
(c) 0%
(d) 25 %
