Question
4.- A retaining wall with a vertical back is 8 m high. The volumetric weight of the 3 m
fill surfaces is y = 1.75 ton/m3 and the angle of resistance is $ = 30°; for the 5m remaining fill the
values are y = 1.85 ton/m3 and angle of internal friction = 35°. Also there is an overload on the
horizontal surface of the landfill equivalent to 1.2 ton/m2, Evenly distributed. Find the magnitude
and point of application of the thrust per meter of Wall.
A) If the fill is well drained
B)
If the fill becomes saturated after a storm (assume for this case that the weights saturated
values of the two strata are 1.9 and 2.0 ton/m3 respectively)
q= 1.2 ton/m2
↓↓↓↓
Y = 1.75 ton/m3
$ = 30°
Y
$ = 35°
1.85 ton/m3
H1 = 3.0 m
H2 = 5.0 m
