For the following statements:
P. The lateral stress in the soil while being tested in an oedometer is always at-rest.
Q. For a perfectly rigid strip footing at deeper depths in a sand deposit, the vertical normal contact stress at the footing edge is greater than that at its centre.
R. The corrections for overburden pressure and dilatancy are not applied to measured SPT-N values in case of clay deposits. The correct combination of the statements is
