Identification for Geotech Finals (Practice)

is caused by the elastic deformation of dry soil and of moist and saturated soil without any change in the moisture content.

• Elastic Settlement

• Settlement Immediate

• Consolidation Settlement

• Secondary Consolidation Settlement

It is the result of a volume change in saturated cohesive soils because of expulsion of the water that occupies the void spaces

• Elastic Settlement

• Secondary Consolidation Settlement

• Primary Consolidation Settlement

• Limitation Settlement

It is observed in saturated cohesive soils and organic soil and is the result of the plastic adjustment of soil fabrics

• Primary Consolidation Settlement

• Elastic Settlement

• Immediate Settlement

• Secondary Consolidation Settlement

The gradual process of drainage under an additional load application and the associated transfer of excess pore water pressure to effective stress cause the time-dependent settlement in the clay soil layer.

• Elastic Settlement

• Consolidation

• Primary Consolidation Settlement

• Secondary Consolidation Settlement

During which excess pore water pressure gradually is transferred into effective stress because of the expulsion of pore water.

• Elastic Settlement

• Consolidation

• Secondary Consolidation

• Primary Consolidation

It occurs after complete dissipation of the excess pore water pressure, when some deformation of the specimen takes place because of the plastic readjustment of soil fabric

• Elastic Settlement

• Consolidation

• Secondary Consolidation

• Primary Consolidation

present effective overburden pressure is the maximum pressure that the soil was subjected to in the past.

• Normally Consolidated

• Over consolidated

• Secondary Consolidated

• Primary Consolidated

What do you call the maximum effective past pressure?

• Effective Shear Pressure

• Atmospheric Pressure

• Preconsolidation Pressure

• Gauge Pressure

The technique of achieving the probable settlement of soil before construction.

• Overloading

• Deloading

• Unloading

• Preloading

is the internal resistance per unit are that the soil mass can offer to resist failure and sliding along any plane inside it.

• Tensile Strength

• Shear Strength

• Compressive Strength

• Bending Stress
