Solution
The correct option is B Shear strength of clay
- Clay is more sensitive on remoulding and strength changes drastically. Thus for calculating the shear strength of clay, undisturbed sample is required.
- Compaction parameters, i.e, optimum moisture content and dry density are calculated on disturbed sample.
- Shear strength of soil is not affected by remoulding.
- For atterberg limit, we take the soil sample and mix with water so the sample is disturbed.
