SSC SSC JE Civil 2025 Mock Test Series (Paper 1 & Paper 2) Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Shear Strength
A cylindrical specimen of saturated soil failed under an axial vertical stress of 100KN/m2 when it was laterally unconfined. The failure plane was inclined to the horizontal plane at an angle of 45°. The values of cohesion and angle of internal friction for the soil are respectively
1
0.5 N/mm2 and 30°
2
0.05 N/mm2 and 0°
3
0.2 N/mm2 and 0°
4
0.05 N/mm2 and 45°
