engineering recuitment BHEL Engineer Trainee Mock Test 2025 Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Shear Strength
A moist sand was tested in an unconfined compression test and failed at an axial stress of 150 kPa. The failure plane was found to make an angle of 60° with the horizontal. Then the apparent cohesion contributed by capillary moisture will be:
1
43.3 kPa
2
129.9 kPa
3
144.9 kPa
4
38.82 kPa
