Question

Respond to the following statements (circle one): Vertical loads applied over finite areas dissipate with depth. TRUE/FALSE The stress-strain behavior of a soil must be fully elastic in order to use Boussinesq's approach to computing changes in stress. TRUE/FALSE Settlement leads to decreased permeability. TRUE/FALSE Immediate settlement in clay is caused by a change in volume. TRUE/FALSE Soil strength is independent on effective stress. TRUE/FALSE Settlement at the ground surface is controlled by the average degree of consolidation. TRUE/FALSE Over-consolidated clays are typically stronger and exhibit less compression when loaded compared to normally-consolidated days. TRUE/FALSE Excess porewater pressure is induced during a drained triaxial test. TRUE/FALSE Volume change behavior of sand during shearing is dependent on soil density and confining stress. TRUE/FALSE Consolidation settlement is associated with a change in effective stress. TRUE/FALSE
