railway RRB JE (CBT I + CBT II) Mock Test 2024 Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Shear Strength
In Triaxial Compression Test on a soil sample to determine its shear strength, compressive stresses are applied in three mutually perpendicular directions and:
1
two of the three stresses are increased till the specimen fails while the third remains constant
2
all three stresses are maintained constant till the specimen fails
3
all three stresses are increased till the specimen fails
4
one of the three stresses are increased till the specimen fails while other two remain constant
