6. Details of a retaining wall are shown in the figure below. The unit weight of the wall 2/3 to consider the cohesion and material is 23 kN/m³. Assume a reduction factor K friction angle at the base slab. Check the stability of the wall in terms of overturning and sliding failure. Use Rankine's theory to compute the active earth pressure. 6.5 m m Ye= 23 kN/m³3 4 m -1.5m Soil 2 Y2 = 17 kN/m³ c₂ = 10 kN/m² 42 = 25° a = 15° Soil 1 Y₁ = 16 kN/m³ c₁ = 0 kN/m² 4₁ = 30°
