 Who made the assumption that ‘a strip footing placed on the ground surface sinks vertically downwards into the soil at failure?
Who is known as the father of soil mechanics?
The maximum load carried by a pile, when it continues to sink without further increase of load, is known as 
The raft foundations are generally used when the required area of footing is
Raft foundation are generally preferred to when they are required for individual footing, is more than:
Study the statements listed below (1) Negative skin friction is developed when the pile is driven through a recently deposited clay layer (2) Negative skin friction is developed when the pile is driven through a layer of dense sand (3) Negative skin friction is developed due to sudden drawdown of the water table Out of these statements
