Refer to the Coulumb Active Earth Pressure. Given alpha = 10 degree; Beta=85 degrees;H - 4m;unit weight of soil = 15 kN/m^3; soil friction angle = 30 degree; and sigma=15 degrees. Estimate the active force, Pa, per unit length of the wall. Also, state the direction and location of the resultant force, Pa.

The following figure shows a section of an anchored retaining wall embedded into a saturated stiff clay layer. The sand has a unit weight of = 18 kN/m³, c' = 0 kPa and o' = 34º. The clay has a unit weight of = 20 kN/m³, c₁ = 80 kPa and = 0°. A uniform pressure of 40 kPa is applied on the soil surface. The short term stability of the wall is considered in an undrained analysis. Use the Rankin's theory of lateral earth pressure to determine the active and passive horizontal stresses. You should apply the requirements of AS 4678 and the partial factors of safety method in estimation of soil pressures. Assume the soil is in-situ and use a structural classification factor of ₁ = 1. 3m 1m Water table 1.5m 40 kPa Not to Scale Sand Clay Ta
