Agha Bilal said: 1 year ago Correct option is (B) i.e. Lateral pressure on the retaining wall is *directly proportional to the depth of the soil*. (2) Bir Bahadur Thokar said: 2 years ago Agree, B is the correct option. (5) Fakhar Naveed said: 2 years ago Lateral pressure on the retaining wall is directly proportional to the depth of the soil. (3) BugtiMehdi said: 3 years ago Option E None of the above is the correct one.The Lateral earth pressure is directly proportional to the depth of the soil because;P = KwH.P proportional H. (4) Khadak sanjyal said: 3 years ago I think the answer B is the right answer. (3) BIKRAM said: 3 years ago I think this answer is not correct because the equation is 1/2k^h^2 that's why earth pressure is directly proportional to the square of height. (2) Manisha Reddy Narala said: 3 years ago Option B is rightLateral earth pressure= k.w.h(So directly proportional to h)Lateral earth pressure force* = 0.5 k.w.h^2.(It's force directly to h^2 but not pressure)Here K depends on the angle of internal friction(θ) and retaining wall condition (active/at rest/passive).For example At rest K = 1-sin θ. Here lateral earth pressure and K decrease as the angle of internal friction θ increases. So lateral earth pressure is not directly proportional to the angle of internal friction. (14) Manisha Reddy said: 3 years ago The Lateral earth pressure is directly proportional to the depth of soil because p=kwh.The lateral earth pressure force is directly proportional to the square of the depth of soil P(pressure force)= area of pressure diagram = 0.5kwh^2. (4) Abid Saeed said: 4 years ago Only "c " is the correct answer. Because pressure is directly proportional to the square of depth "B" is not a correct answer. And in the case of option "D" according to the active earth pressure coefficient "K " is inversely proportional to the internal angle of friction. (1) Don said: 4 years ago According to me, the right C.
