Soil Mechanics and Foundation Coefficient of compressibility is different for different types of soils and also different for a soil under different states of consolidation independent of type of soil but depends on the stress history of soil different for different types of soils but same for a soil under different states of consolidation constant for any type of soil different for different types of soils and also different for a soil under different states of consolidation independent of type of soil but depends on the stress history of soil different for different types of soils but same for a soil under different states of consolidation constant for any type of soil ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
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° 12° 7° 17° 10° 12° 7° ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
