3. For the retaining wall given in the figure, compute the factors of safety against overturning, sliding, and bearing capacity failure. Check if the eccentricity at the base of the retaining wall is acceptable. The unit weight of the concrete is 24 kN/m³. The friction 2 and between the base of the concrete and soil is 8=6. Ignore the passive earth force 3 in front of the toe of the retaining wall. Make any other assumption that you considered necessary.
