The given figure depicts typical load-settlement curves from plate load tests for a different types of soils. Select the correctly matched pair.
1
Curve I - Typical of loose sand or soft clay, wherein local shear failure occurs.
2
Curve II - Typical of many c – φ soils which exhibit characteristics intermediate between a general shear failure and local shear failure.
3
Curve II - Typical of dense sand or gravel or stiff clay, wherein general shear failure occurs.
4
Curve I - Typical of dense sand or gravel or stiff clay, wherein general shear failure occurs.
