35.
Pick up the incorrect statement from the following:
Compaction has no effect on the structure of a soil
Permeability decreases with increase in the dry density of a compacted soil
A wet side compacted soil is more compressible than a dry side compacted soil
Dry side compaction soils swell more when given access to moisture
None of the these.
Answer: Option

On dry of optimum soil has flocculated structure whereas on wet of optimum it rearranges to a dispersed structure.
Dhananjay said:   7 years ago
If a structure is compacted on dry side of optimum then it shows flocculated structure whereas, if it is compacted on the wet side of optimum then it shoes the dispersed structure.
Ravikumar said:   7 years ago
Due to campaction soil will remould and also floculeted structure become dispersed.
Ranjit said:   7 years ago
Yes, the structure of soil will change due to compaction since it is a 3 phase system in soil mechanics.
Yash said:   8 years ago
Structure of soil changes on heavy compaction.
Ams said:   10 years ago
Structure of soil get altered after compaction. Some test explain point it.
Baishali Nandi said:   10 years ago
Because compaction causes the structure to hold good, if you build a structure on poor compacted soil, it will get twisted.

Why will there be any effect on structure of soil on compaction? its the property of the soil. It won't change because of external factors. Someone clarify this.
