1. A RETAINING WALL HAS A HEIGHT OF 6M. AND IS SUPPORTED A HORIZONTAL BACKFILL WHICH IS LEVEL WITH THE TOP OF THE WALL. THE BACKFILL HAS A UNIT WEIGHT OF 16 KN/m3 A. COMPUTE THE LATERAL FORCE PER UNIT LENGTH OF THE WALL IF THE WALL IS PREVENTED FROM MOVING. USE POISSONS RATIO OF SOIL TABLE TO BE 0.36 B. IF THE ANGLE OF FRICTION OF THE SOIL IS 32 DEGREES, FIND THE LATERAL ACTIVE FORCE ACTING ON THE WALL. 2. LL = 65% PL = 25% WATER CONTENT = 35% SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF SOLIDS= 2.70 DEGREE OF SATURATION = 100 % A. DETERMINE THE VOID RATIO OF THE SOIL SAMPLE B. DETERMINE THE BULK DENSITY OF THE SOIL SAMPLE
