Question

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

Answer 1

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:

Answer to the question is: Option C

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°
