Knowing the shear strength of soil is important. Select the CORRECT combination statement on shear strength. It has three distinct strengths: peak, critical (or ultimate) and residual ii. To derive the bearing capacity, design retaining walls, evaluate the stability of slopes and embankments ii. It is shear resistance of soil which a result of friction and interlocking of particles but not due to the cementation or bonding at particle contacts iv. The drained shear strength is the shear strength of the soil when pore fluid pressures, generated during the course of shearing the soil, are able to dissipate during shearing. i. i,ii,i i,ii,iv O ii and iv All of above
