Q1:

The total active earth pressure due to dry back fill with no surcharge, acts at H/3 above the base of the wall and is directly proportional to

A H

B

C H2

D H3.

ANS:C - H2

D. H^3,

Because,
The active earth pressure with no surcharge
Pa=1/2.ka.Y.h^2 acts above the H/3.
Pa= 1/2.ka.Y.H^2.H/3.
