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 12° 17° 10° 7° 12° 17° 10° 7° ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Select the incorrect statement. Effective angle of shearing resistance increases as the soil gradation im-proves increases as the size of particles increases is limited to a maximum value of 45° is rarely more than 30° for fine grained soil increases as the soil gradation im-proves increases as the size of particles increases is limited to a maximum value of 45° is rarely more than 30° for fine grained soil ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
