1. Consider the following statements relating to triaxial tests : 1. Change in length of the specimen in a triaxial shear test is required to be accounted for in the calculation of stresses at failure. 2. In 'Drained Triaxial Shear Test', drainage is permitted under a specified all-round pressure until consolidation is complete. The principal stress difference is then applied with no drainage being permitted. 3. Unconfined compression test is a special case of triaxial shear test. Of these statements :
