Question

To have zero active pressure intensity at the tip of a wall in cohesive soil, one should apply a uniform surcharge intensity of-A-2c tan &alpha;B-2c cot &alpha;C- 2c cot &alpha;D- 2c tan &alpha;-A-2c tan &alpha;

APTITUDE CRACK · Accepted Answer

The correct option is  A 2c tan &alpha; Explanation: Pa = rzcot2&alpha; 2c cot &alpha; + q cot2&alpha;. For z = 0. And, 2c cot &alpha;= q cot2&alpha; q = 2 c tan&alpha;.
