Question

Airy’s formula is used for calculation of lateral pressure in
A. CAP structure
B. Deep bins
C. Shallow bins
D. Pusa bins
E. Morai structure
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A only
• B. B only
• C. B and C only
• D. D and E only

Hint:

Remember the applications of grain pressure theories:
- Janssen's theory \(\rightarrow\) Deep bins only.
- Airy's theory \(\rightarrow\) Both deep and shallow bins.
- Rankine's theory \(\rightarrow\) Retaining walls and shallow bins (assuming zero wall friction).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
