A gravity retaining wall is shown in the figure below. Calculate the factor of safety with respect to overturning and sliding, given the following data:

Wall dimensions:

 = 6 ,  = 0.6 ,  = 2 ,  = 2 ,
 = 0.5 ,  = 0.75 ,  = 0.8 ,  = 1.5 

Soil properties:

 = 17 ,  = 32,  = 18 ,
 = 22,  = 40 

 

Use Coulomb's active earth pressure in your calculation and let . Use  = 23.58 . Also, use  =  = 2/3 and  = 0 in equation

 

For  = 32,  = 0,  = 71.57,  = 0.45,  = 21.33.
