2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is effective stress in soil mechanics?
Think about how water affects soil.
Name the path followed during initial compression.
Consider the early loading state.
What does the virgin compression curve represent?
Think about what happens when soil is loaded heavily.
Is it true that unloading a soil sample results in elastic recovery?
Consider what happens when you release pressure.
Analyze a scenario where a building is constructed on previously loaded soil. Explain how the behavior beyond point C can lead to structural issues.
Consider how the building load interacts with prior soil behavior.
Given a consolidation curve with specific void ratios and stress points, calculate the expected permanent strain for a hypothetical soil sample.
Refer back to how permanent strain is defined based on loading cycles.
