engineering recuitment BHEL Engineer Trainee Mock Test 2025 Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Shear Strength
In a drained triaxial compression test conducted on dry sand, failure occurred when the deviator stress was 218 kN/m2 at a confining pressure of 61 kN/m2. The pore pressure at failure was observed to be 10 kPa. The effective angle of shearing resistance and the inclination of the failure plane to the major principal plane will be:
1
34°, 62°
2
34°, 28°
3
40°, 25°
4
43°, 66.5°
