Sample CE6601 important questions:
1. What is a Retaining wall?
Retaining walls are generally used to retain earth or such materials to maintain unequal levels on its two faces. The soil on the back face is at a higher level and is called back fill. Retaining walls are extensively used in the construction of basements below ground
level, wing walls of bridge and to retain slopes in hilly terrain roads.
2. What are the disadvantages of gravity retaining walls?
Gravity walls of stone masonry were generally used in the earlier days to the height of the earth fill. The advent of reinforced concrete has resulted in thinner retaining walls.
3. What are the types of retaining walls?
Retaining wall can be classified structurally as
1. Cantilever retaining wall
2. Counter fort retaining wall
4. What is a cantilever retaining wall?
The most common and widely used retaining wall is of cantilever type. Vertical stem resisting earth pressure one side and the slab bends like a cantilever. The thickness of the vertical slab is large at the bottom and decreases towards the top in proportion to the varying soil pressure.
5. What is a counter fort retaining wall?
Counter fort retaining walls are used for large heights exceeding 5 mts of earth fill. In counter fort retaining wall the vertical stem is designed as a continuous slab spanning between the counter forts. Counter forts are designed as cantilever beams from the base slab.
