Q1: A triaxial shear test is prefered to direct shear test, becauseA
it can be performed under all three driange conditions with complete control
B
precise measurement of pore pressure and change in volume during test, is not posible
C
stress distribution on the failure plane, is non uniform
D
none of these.
ANS:A - it can be performed under all three driange conditions with complete control "it can be performed under all three drainage conditions with complete control." In a triaxial shear test, the drainage conditions can be controlled, allowing the test to be conducted under undrained, partially drained, or fully drained conditions. This flexibility provides valuable insights into the behavior of soils under various drainage conditions, which is essential for understanding their engineering properties and performance in different scenarios. The other options provided are not accurate reasons for why a triaxial shear test is preferred:
