Following Civil Engineering Multiple choice objective type questions and answers will help you in BSNL JTO, GATE 2024 and IES 2024 examinations :

11.In a consolidated drained test on a normally consolidated clay, the volume of the soil sample during shear

decreases
increases
remains unchanged
first increases and then decreases

12.For better strength and stability, the fine grained soils and coarse grained soils are compacted respectively as

dry of OMC and wet of OMC
wet of OMC and dry of OMC
wet of OMC and wet of OMC
dry of OMC and dry of OMC where OMC is optimum moisture content

13.Select the incorrect statement.

In a direct shear box test, the plane of shear failure is predetermined.
Better control is achieved on the drainage of the soil in a triaxial com-pression test.
Stress distribution on the failure plane in the case of triaxial compression test is uniform.
Unconfined compression test can be carried out on all types of soils.

14.During the first stage of triaxial test when the cell pressure is increased from 0.10 N/mm2 to 0.26 N/mm2, the pore water pressure increases from 0.07 N/mm2 to 0.15 "N/mm2. Skempton's pore pressure parameter B is

-0.5
2.0
- 2.0

15.Coarse grained soils are best compacted by a

drum roller
rubber tyred roller
sheep's foot roller
vibratory roller
