A 10 ft wall retains soil with a horizontal surface that has 115 pcf unit weight, a friction angle of 26 degrees, and an effective cohesion c’= 50 psf. The water table is at 5ft depth. Assuming Rankine active lateral earth pressures and hydrostatic conditions, what is the total horizontal thrust that the wall feels

Determine the total force per unit length acting on a 4.8 m high retaining wall. The soil that is backfilled level behind the wall is a granular soil with a total unit weight of 18.2 kN/m3 and a saturated unit weight of 19.6 kN/m3. Use an at-rest earth pressure coefficient for the soil which has an internal angle of friction of 26 degrees. The water table is expected to rest at a depth of 1.5 below the ground surface. Report...
