1.Allowable bearing pressure for a founda�tion depends upon

2.A 600 mm square bearing plate settles by 15 mm in plate load test on a cohesionless soil under an intensity of loading of 0.2 N/ram2. The settlement of a prototype shallow footing 1 m square under the same intensity of loading is

3.A retaining wall 6m high supports a backfill with a surcharge angle of 10�. The back of the wall is inclined to the vertical at a positive batter angle of 5�. If the angle of wall friction is 7�, then the resultant active earth pressure will act at a distance of 2 m above the base and inclined to the horizontal at an angle of

4.A 300 mm square bearing plate settles by 15 mm in a plate load test on a cohesive soil when the intensity of loading is 0.2 N/mm2. The settlement of a prototype shallow footing 1 m square under the same intensity of loading is

5.The major principal stress in an element of cohesionless soil within the backfill of a retaining wall is
