State whether the following sentence is true or false.

Maximum void ratio corresponds to the maximum dry density of the sand sample.

Total pressure at point A of the below figure is;

γ_satx h

(γ_sat - γ_dry) x h

γ_water x h

γ_dry x h

Saturated granular soil behaviour is drained,

both in short-term and long-term

✅

neither in short-term or long-term

State whether the following statement is true or false.

Pore pressure taken by pore water in voids is equal in intensity in all directions.

The correct relationship between the effective stress (σ'), total stress (σ) and the pore water pressure (u) is,

σ' = σ – u

σ' = σ + u

σ' = 2σ – u

σ = σ' - 2u

For saturated fine-grained soils,

The correct statement is,

both short-term and long-term behaviours are drained

❌

short-term behaviour is drained and long-term behaviour is undrained

❌

short-term behaviour is undrained and long-term behaviour is drained

✅

short-term behaviour is undrained and long-term behaviour is also undrained

❌
