A rigid retaining wall of 6 m height (Fig. Ex. 11.11) has two layers of backfill. The top layer to a depth of 1.5 m is sandy clay having 20°, c = 12.15kN/m² and y 16.4kN/m³ The bottom layer is sand having = 30°, c =0, and y = 17.25kN/m³ Determine th total active earth pressure acting on the wall and draw the pressure distribution diagram. 1.5 m GL AVIAVIAVAVAVA p=20° c=12.15 kN/m² Sandy clay 1.5 m 8.2 kN/m²
