Q1: The stem of a cantilever retaining wall which retains earth level with top is 6 m. If the angle of repose and weight of the soil per cubic metre are 30° and 2000 kg respectively, the effective width of the stem at the bottom, isA 51.5
B 52.5
C 53.5
D 54.5
E 55.5
ANS:C - 53.5 To determine the effective width of the stem at the bottom of the cantilever retaining wall, we need to consider the equilibrium of forces acting on the wall, including the horizontal force exerted by the soil and the weight of the wall itself. First, let's calculate the horizontal force exerted by the soil on the wall using Rankine's theory: H=1/2×γ×H^2×tan^2(δ) Where:
