Which of the following are the general design requirements of retaining wall? 1. The factor of safety against sliding should be at least 1.5 2. The factor of safety against over-turning should be at least 2.0 3. The bearing pressure at toe should be less than the bearing capacity of the soil 4. The length of retaining wall to be cast in one go should not exceed 10 m otherwise cracks may develop

Consider the following statements as suggestive of the bearing capacity of soil: 1. The maximum net loading intensity at which neither the soil fails in shear nor is there excessive settlement detrimental to the structure. 2. The maximum net pressure which the soil can carry without shear failure. 3. The net ultimate bearing capacity of the soil divided by a factor of safety. Which of the above statements is/are correct?

In the question below, are given a statement followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the following suggested courses of actions logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: Starting October, all new cars will have pedestrian safety features, including new design of the bonnet, to reduce impact on pedestrians during accidents. Advanced safety features are needed in all vehicles in India as vehicle safety cannot be confined to luxury vehicles only. Around 1.5 lakh people are killed in road accidents every year in the country, nearly 60% of them are pedestrians. Courses of action: I. The government has set a target to reduce the number of road deaths by half in the next two years. The ministry of road transport and highways has been issuing new safety standards for the automobiles along with eliminating the black spots on national highways. II. By next month, all new cars will have pedestrian safety feature, including new design of the bonnet, to reduce impact on pedestrians during accidents. III. Ministry of road transport and Highways is planning to implement all safety features in vehicles with active support of vehicle manufacturers. Electronic stability control (ESC) and autonomous emergency braking (AEB) will be incorporated in new vehicles by 2022.
