Soil Mechanics and Foundation A retaining wall 6m high supports a backfill with a surcharge angle of 10°. The back of the wall is inclined to the vertical at a positive batter angle of 5°. If the angle of wall friction is 7°, then the resultant active earth pressure will act at a distance of 2 m above the base and inclined to the horizontal at an angle of 17° 10° 7° 12° 17° 10° 7° 12° ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Coefficient of compressibility is constant for any type of soil different for different types of soils and also different for a soil under different states of consolidation different for different types of soils but same for a soil under different states of consolidation independent of type of soil but depends on the stress history of soil constant for any type of soil different for different types of soils and also different for a soil under different states of consolidation different for different types of soils but same for a soil under different states of consolidation independent of type of soil but depends on the stress history of soil ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
