Q1: If W is weight of a retaining wall and P is the horizontal earth pressure, the factor of safety against sliding, isA 1.0
B 1.25
C 1.5
D 2.0
E 2.5
ANS:C - 1.5 The factor of safety against sliding for a retaining wall can be calculated by comparing the resisting force (due to friction or other means) to the driving force (horizontal earth pressure). The factor of safety is defined as the ratio of the resisting force to the driving force. Let's denote:
