A gravity concrete retaining wall with a 3.7 m wide base and back wall inclination of 71°, exerts pressures of 128 kPa at the toe and 85 kPa at the heel. If the base has a friction angle of 18° with the supporting soil. The wall is experiencing a lateral earth force of P3= 123 kN/m wall acting at distance Y of 1.6 m from the base, compute the absolute value of eccentricity in meters (3 dp). NOTE: The shape of the pressure diagram at the base depends on the values of pmin and pmax given in the problem. Toe Нel Pmin
