A smooth retaining wall with 2m of embedment in the clayey sand retains a 6m high sandy backfill as in Fig.2. Assuming that the entire soil mass on the right side of the wall is in the active state and the soil on the left is in the passive state. compute the active and passive thrusts on the wall and location of resultants. plot the diagram of active and passive earth pressure.
