In testing a pile by load test, pile platform is loaded with one and half times the design load and a maximum settlement is noted. The load is gradually removed and the consequent rebound is measured. For a safe pile, the net settlement (i.e. total settlement minus rebound) per tonne of test load should not exceed 20 mm 25 mm 10 mm 15 mm TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
If A is the area of the foundation of a retaining wall carrying a load W and retaining earth of weight 'w' per unit volume, the minimum depth (h) of the foundation from the free surface of the earth, is h = (W/Aw) [(1 - sin φ)/(1 + sin φ)] h = (W/Aw) [(1 + sin φ)/(1 + sin φ)] h = (W/Aw) [(1 - sin φ)/(1 + sin φ)]² h = √(W/Aw) [(1 - sin φ)/(1 + sin φ)]² TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
