Your Question:
Transcribed Image Text:As shown in the figure, a 4-m tall retaining wall supports an backfill that is a fine to
medium sand with properties listed below.
Bearing capacity pressure (kPa) = 240
Soil-wall interface friction angle (deg) = 20
Backfill slope inclination (deg) = 0
Soil unit weight (kN/m3) = 19
Soil friction angle (deg) = 35
Soil cohesion (kPa) = 10
Height of wall including footing (m) = 4
Thickness of footing AH (m) = 0.4
Point Wall Coordinates
A
B
Wall toe recess HG (m) = 0.4
Stem thickness EF (m) = 0.3
Initial guess of footing width B (m) = 2.2
Determine the footing width B to satisfy the stability criteria (Fs>=1.5)
