Answer :

1. Is known :
H=5 m γ =14 KN /m 3
∅ ' =30 ° c ' =0
OCR=1
β=0 ° (because the surface of the soil is flat )

Questions :

A. Rankine active force per unit length of the wall and the location of the resultant
B. Rankine passive force per unit length of the wall and the location of the resultant

 2. Is known :
Z=4m
q = 150 KN/m2

Questions :

Determine the vertical stress increase ∆ σ z below point A’ at depth of 4 m. Use

Fadum Method

Settlement :

F 2 E 1 D

C B A

∆ σ z (A) = ∆ σ z ( ACDF ) −∆ σ z ( ABDE)

For the ACDF Area :

4
m= =1
4

2
n= =0,5
4

1
so, Ir = ¿
2π

Ir = 0,12

 σ z=q . Ir

= 150 KN/m2 . 0,12

= 18 t/m2
For the ABDE Area :

1
m= =0,25
4

2
n= =0,5
4

1
so, Ir = ¿
2π

Ir = 0,0475

 σ z=q . Ir
= 150 KN/m2 . 0,0475
= 7,125 t/m2

Then, we get it :

 ∆ σ z (A) = ∆ σ z ( ACDF ) −∆ σ z ( ABDE)

=18 – 7,125
= 10,875 t/m2
