Question 3 In the case of lateral earth pressures: . a) Describe the difference between the development of active and passive pressures (5 marks) b) For the soil profile shown in Fig 23. Soil 1 has the following characteristics: bulk density of 1850 Kg/m with = 26° and C = OkPa. • Soil 2 has the following characteristics: bulk density of 1910 Kg/m2 with = 34, C =0 kPa Assuming active conditions exist draw the stress profile that would develop and calculate the thrust and position of the thrust that would develop against the wall (10 marks) c) The soil in Fig 03 is re-examined and the soil properties are found to be different to those assumed in part Soil 1 has the following characteristics: bulk density of 1810 Kg/m with = 26" and C = 15kPa. Soil 2 has the following characteristics: bulk density of 1950 Kg/m with = 24, C = 20 kPa Calculate the difference in magnitude, position and thrust to the soil outline in part b). .
