Soil Mechanics and Foundation A plane inclined at an angle ‘φ’ to the horizontal at which the soil is expected to stay in the absence of any lateral support, is known as The φ line Repose line Natural slope line All listed here The φ line Repose line Natural slope line All listed here 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 12° 17° 7° 10° 12° 17° 7° 10° ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Select the incorrect statement. Effective angle of shearing resistance is rarely more than 30° for fine grained soil increases as the size of particles increases increases as the soil gradation im-proves is limited to a maximum value of 45° is rarely more than 30° for fine grained soil increases as the size of particles increases increases as the soil gradation im-proves is limited to a maximum value of 45° ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
