Answer:

As the major principal stress in the active case is vertical, the major principal plane is horizontal and the failure plane makes an angle of α = 45 + (ɸ/2) with the horizontal. The assumptions made in Rankine's theory of earth pressure may be summarized as follows: i. The backfill is homogeneous and semi-infinite.
