A 5 m high retaining wall has top 2 m of sand of unit weight 19.5 kN/m³ and = 30° and remaining 3 m is pure clay of shear strength 15 kPa and o = 0°. The water table is present at 2 m from top and unit weight of soil below and above water table is 21 kN/m³ and 19 kN/m³ respectively. The active earth thrust will work at _m below ground level. %3D
