Question

The intensity of passive earth pressure at a depth of 5 m in a cohesion less soil with an angle of internal friction of $30^{\circ}$ when water rises to ground level is $k N / m^{2}$ . Take saturated unit weight of sand as $21 k N / m^{3}$ and $γ_{w} = 9.81 k N / m^{3}$ .

216.9

Solution

The correct option is A 216.9
Coefficient of passive earth pressure,
$k_{P} = \frac{1 + sin ϕ}{1 - sin ϕ} = \frac{1 + sin 30^{\circ}}{1 - sin 30^{\circ}} = 3$
Intensity of passive earth pressure,
$P_{p} = k_{p} γ h + γ_{w} h$
$= k_{p} (γ_{s a t} - γ_{w}) h + γ_{w} h$
$= 3 \times (21 - 9.81) \times 5 + 9.81 \times 5$
$= 216.9 k N / m^{2}$
