As the state of strain of an element of dense sand changes from plain strain to trivial condition, the effective angle of internal friction :-A-increasesB-decreasesC-remains constantD-first increases and then remains constant-B-decreases

Question

APTITUDE CRACK · Accepted Answer

B decreases IF Dense sand is Sheared initially it will undergo compression &amp; later interlocking b/w particles breaks and soil start to behave like loose sand; DILATION Occurs. Loose sand: coefficient of the angle of friction is less (therefore Less Strength ). Dense sand: coefficient of the angle of friction is More (therefore More Strength ).
