  1. EFFECTIVE STRESS Which best describes effective stress?
  2. Can effective stress be measured?
  3. Which is the correct formulae for determining effective stress?
  4. Which of the following is untrue?
  5. Soil under compression is like what?
  6. Regarding shear force, water and soils, what can be said? One is untrue?
  7. Consider a water tight chamber being compressed, with a spring (the soil) also being squashed. What happens? Think crisps...
  8. In the same situation before, what will happen if there is a valve for the water to escape?
  9. How do we calculate effective stress from this?
  10. Is this statement true? "two soils with the same water content and structure have the same behaviour if effective stress is the same"
  11. So is the correct one? "Two soils have the same behaviour if effective stress is the same, regardless of other features"
  12. How bout this? "Two soils have the same behaviour if effective stress, structure and mineralogy are the same"
  13. If there is no volume change of the soil and water as the load increases, what can be said?
  14. Changes in volume without change in pore pressure don't change effective stress. What is wrong with this statement?
  15. Which is true?
  16. How can this situation occur? (change in volume without change in pore pressure causes change in effective stress)
  17. Typically this happens in high permeability soils, however it can occur in low permeability soils such as clay. Why is it a less common occurance in clay?
  18. IN SUMMARY! Which is untrue...
