A 9 m cantilever retaining wall is subjected to active pressure increasing from 5 kN/m at the top (free end) to 45 kN/m at the base (fixed end) per meter strip of length of wall along its longitudinal axis. 4. Calculate the maximum shear in kN. Calculate the maximum moment. If the wall was laterally supported at the free end, determine the moment (kN∙m) at the base.
