QUESTION THREE Describe the typical responses of two groups of uncemented granular soil type A and B in terms of shear s
QUESTION THREE Describe the typical responses of two groups of uncemented granular soil type A and B in terms of shear stress, volume change and void ratio in relation to shear strain Assuming that type A and B is a loose sand and dense sand, respectively Use sketches, where necessary, to illustrate the points that you make. Full marks will not be available without an illustrated response. What do you understand by shear bands and dilation of granular soil? (4 Marks) a) Differentiate between consolidation and compaction Provide only three points. (3 Marks) b) How would you interpret the results of proctor test? Use sketches, where necessary, to illustrate the points that you make. Full marks will not be available without an illustrated response (3 Marks) c) The results of a standard compaction test are shown in Table 2 below.
