Question

A gravity concrete retaining wall is shown in the scheme below. Determine the maximum and minimumpressures
under the base of the wall, and the safety factors against overturning and sliding (ignore any material which may
exist in front the wall). Use Coulomb’s active earth pressure theory and wall friction angle δ = (2/3)Ø. using Rankine’s active earth pressure theory.
