A cantilever retaining wall of 7 meter height (Fig. Ex. 11.2) retains sand. The properties of the sand are: e=0.5, 0= 30 and G,= 2.7. Using Rankine's theory determine the active earth pressure at the base when the backfill is (i) dry. (i) saturated and (ii) submerged, and also the resultant active force in cach case. In addition stetermine the total water pressure under the submerged condition. Backfil suhmerged e05 G,=27 Dry backfill Sand Backfill saturated Water pressure P259 kN/m P412 KNm AB is the wall considered P.48.8I AN/m YH= 68.67 AN/m-p. Figure Ex. 11.2
