Question
A smooth rigid retaining wall of 6 m high carries a uniform surcharge
load of 12 kN/m2. The backfill is clayey sand possessing the following properties. γ = 16.0 kN/m3 , φ = 25°, and c = 6.5 kN/m2 for a retaining wall system, the following data were available: (i) Height of
wall = 7 m. (ii) Properties of backfill: γd =16 kN/m3, φ = 35 ° (iii) Angle
of wall friction, δ =20° (iv) Back of wall is inclined at 20° to the vertical
(positive batter) (v) Backfill surface is sloping at 1:10. Find the
following
(i) Active earth pressure
(ii) Passive earth pressure
