Question

solve the questions 37 and 39 given in image.

37) A 3 m high retaining wall with vertical face is resisting a moist back fill with
horizontal top surface having Y= 20 kN/cum. The percentage increase in
Total Active Earth Pressure, if the back fill gets submerged with Y=22 kN/
cum and Y= 10 kN/cum, is:
(1) 20
(2) 40
(3) 60
(4) 100
38) The factor of safety of a slope of given inclination of 6 m high constructed
using a soil with c=60 kPa, y=20 kN/cum and its Taylor's stability
number-0.20, will be:
(1) 2.50
(2) 5.00
(3) 1.00
(4) 2.00
39) According to Boussinesque's theory, under the application of a point load of
100 kN on the surface, the pressure bulb corresponding to an increment in
veitical stuess of 47.75 kN/sqm will extend to a depth of.
(1) 0.50 m
(2) 1.00 m
(3) 2.00 m
(4) 4.00 m
