Question 1: You are designing a retaining wall at the construction site. The friction angle of sand backfill is 28". Define the active lateral earth pressure coefficient based on Rankine's theory. Show your work and select the closest value: a) 0.30 b) 0.35 c) 0.40 d) 0.50
Using the FE handbook, can I get a step by step on how to answer?
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.
