Question

Match List-I (Soil property measured) with List-II (in-situ test) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists:

List-I
A. Modulus of subgrade reaction
B. Relative density and strength
C. Skin friction and point bearing
D. Elastic constants

List-II

Codes:

A B C D

• A. 1 3 2 4
• B. 1 2 4 3
• C. 2 4 1 3
• D. 3 4 1 2

Answer 1

The correct option is D 3 4 1 2

Pressuremeter can be used for in-situ measurement of shear modulus (G) of the soil. In this pressure is applied to water by compressed gas(usually nitrogen) in a control cylinder at the surface.
