When stress decreases, void, ratio decreases
When stress decreases, coefficient of permeability decreases
When stress decreases, coefficient of volume change decreases
When stress decreases void ratio, co-effi-cients of per-meability and volume change decrease.

Av = e1-e2 / q1-q2

if q decrease then the coefficient of compressibility (Av) increases. and void ratio e = e1 - e2 decreases due to increase in stress

If Av increases then Mv = Av/1+e, Mv also increases.

then the permeability K = Cv . Mv . Yw if Mv increases then K also increases.

Answer D is correct.

"When stress decreases void ratio" i.e. if stress has to decrease void ratio stress should be increased.

If stress increases mv decreases as it is inversely proportional to stress increase. As k and mv are directly proportional, k also decreases if mv decreases.

Answer D is absolutely correct.

The option states that WHEN STRESS DECREASES VOID RATIO, means because of stress, the void ratio has decreased so, K & Mv also decreases.

When stress decreases void ratio, volume decreases and hence flow of water through soil (permeability) also decreases.

I think all 3 components increases as stress are decreases.

Decreases or increases? In deep confusion!

Cherry jindal said:   9 years ago
I think that all will increase.

Mks said:   9 years ago
All the 3components increases.

Correct, Thanks @Nadeem Qadir.

Yes, it should be "increases".
