What is the role of cohesion in soil mechanics?
A. Controls drainage
B. Provides shear strength in absence of friction
C. Affects permeability
D. Enhances compressibility
E. 2
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Cohesion is the internal molecular attraction between soil particles, especially in clays.It contributes to shear strength when friction is minimal, like in saturated clays.This Question Belongs to Geological Engineering >> Engineering Properties Of Rocks And Soils
