A vertical retaining wall 6.8 meters high retains a horizontal backfill having the following properties: Void ratio = 0.70; Specific Gracvity = 2.61; Water Content = 30 %; Angle of internal Friction = 23°. Compute the magnitude of the active force in KN acting on the wall if the water table is on the ground surface which is on level with top of the wall.
