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.

An 8.50 m high retaining wall is built to support a sandy silt with a volumetric weight of 1850 kg/m3 and an angle of internal friction of 28°. The silt also has a cohesion of 1300 kg/m2. The ground surface is horizontal. The effect of the friction of the wall is neglected. Determine the pressure at the base of the screen.
