If the cohesive backfill carries a surcharge of q per unit area, then the lateral pressure is increased by _________

If the cohesive backfill carries a surcharge of q per unit area, then the lateral pressure is increased by _________ Correct Answer Ka q

Since the surcharge is the additional load, when the backfill is horizontal and carries a surcharge q, then the vertical pressure increment will be by q. Due to this, the lateral pressure will increase by Ka q.
