Question
Group I lists the type of gain or loss of strength in soils. Group II lists the property or process responsible for the loss or gain of strength in soils.
Group I
P. Regain of strength with time
Q. Loss of strength due to cyclic loading
R. Loss of strength due to upward seepage
S. Loss of strength due to remoulding
Group II
1. Boiling
2. Liquefaction
3. Thixotropy
4. Sensitivity
The correct match between Group I and Group II is
A.
P-4, Q-1, R-2, S-3
B.
P-3, Q-1, R-2, S-4
C.
P-3, Q-2, R-1, S-4
D.
P-4, Q-2, R-1, S-3
Answer ( Option C)

P-3, Q-2, R-1, S-4

Solution

• Loss in strength of soil due to remoulding at same water content is termed as sensitivity.
• Over a period of time soil regain a part of its lost strength is termed as thixotropy.
• When seepage takes place in upward direction, seepage pressure acts in upward direction  and effective stress is reduced, consequently shear strength is reduced.
• In liquefaction, due to dynamic/cyclic loading in loose saturated sand, effective stress decreases and decrease in shear strength is recorded.
