For the following statements: P: The lateral stress in the soil while being tested in an oedometer is always at-rest. Q: For a perfectly rigid strip footing at deeper depths in a sand deposit, the vertical normal contact stress at the footing edge is greater than that at its centre. R: The corrections for overburden pressure and dilatancy are not applied to measured SPT-N values in case of clay deposits. The correct combination of the statements is P Q R (a) True True False (b) False (c) False False True False False (d) True True True
During a subsoil exploration program, undisturbed normally consolidated silty clay samples were collected in Shelby tubes from location A as shown in Figure below 2 m G.W.T Silty sand e = 0.72; G, = 2.69 2.2 m 3.5 m Silty clay w = 22%; G, = 2.72 5.25 m Poorly graded sand = 19.8 kN/m³ 2.6 m Ysat Following are the results of four drained, direct shear tests conducted on the
