If A is the area of the foundation of a retaining wall carrying a load W and retaining earth of weight w per unit volume, the minimum depth (h) of the foundation from the free surface of the earth, is )/(1 + sin )]________?
Ah = (W/Aw) [(1 + )/(1 + sin )]
Bh = (W/Aw) [(1 – )/(1 + sin )]2
Ch = (W/Aw) [(1 –
Correct answer
B. h = (W/Aw) [(1 – )/(1 + sin )]2
Explanation
The correct answer is h = (W/Aw) [(1 – )/(1 + sin )]2.
