2. Consolidation
3. Unconfined compression
The soil tests required to be done in the case of undisturbed samples include -
A cantilever beam AB, fixed at A and carrying a load W at the free end B, is found to deflect by δ at the mid-point of AB. The deflection of B due to a load W/2 at the mid-point will be
-
A plan of an area drawn with the original scale of 1 cm = 10 m, has shrunk such that a line, originally 15 cm long on the plan, measures now 14.5 cm. The shrunk scale is given by 1 cm equal to
