1. What is A in the following figure?
a) Unloading
b) Loading
c) Permanent strain unrecovered
d) Resilient strain recovered
View Answer
Explanation: According to Highway Construction and Maintenance, they prepared a graph of aggregates for stress vs strain in which stress is increasing wrt strain at first i.e. loading.
2. What is B in the following figure?
a) Unloading
b) Loading
c) Permanent strain unrecovered
d) Resilient strain recovered
View Answer
Explanation: According to Highway Construction and Maintenance, they prepared a graph of aggregates for stress vs strain in which stress is decreasing wrt strain after a period of time i.e. unloading.
