Q. A and B are Skempton's pore pressure coefficients. For saturated normally consolidated soils,

Q. Assertion (A) : For a fully saturated soil, the pore pressure parameter is equal to zero.

Reason (R) : The compressibility of water is much smaller than the coefficient of volume compressibility.

Q. In a triaxial test, a soil sample was consolidation under a cell pressure of

700 k N / m^{2}

and a back pressure of

350 k N / m^{2}

. There after with drainage not allowed, the cell pressure was raised to

800 k N / m^{2}

resulting in the increased pore water pressure reading of

445 k N / m^{2}

. The axial load was then increased to give a deviator stress of

575 k N / m^{2}

(while the cell pressure remained at

800 k N / m^{2}

) and a pore pressure reading of

640 k N / m^{2}

. The pore pressure coefficients A and B are respectively?

Q. The coefficient of permeability of a soil is 5

\times

10^{- 5}

cm/sec for a certain pore fluid. If the viscosity of the pore fluid is reduced to half, the coefficient of permeability will be

Q. In an unconsolidated undrained triaxial test, it is observed that an increase is cell pressure from 150 kPa to 250 kPa leads to a pore pressure increase of 80 kPa. It is further observed that, an increase of 50 kPa in deviatoric stress results in an increase of 25 kPa in the pore pressure. The value of Skempton's pore pressure parameter B is:
