GATE CE 2025 CE Q47: Soil Mechanics

In the context of shear strength of soil, which of the following statements is/are CORRECT?

Your answerSelect all correct options. You can choose more than one.

The unconfined compression test is a special case of the unconsolidated-undrained (UU) triaxial tests.

The shear strength parameters obtained from the consolidated-drained (CD) triaxial tests should be used to analyse rapid construction in clay.

Vane shear test is commonly used for determining in situ undrained strength of saturated clay soils.

In an unconsolidated-undrained (UU) triaxial tests, the angle of internal friction (ϕ) is equal to zero.
