Transcribed Image Text:The soil profile at a site consists of a 5 m thick sand layer underline by a c-o soil Im Youlk = 16.5 kN/m as shown in figure. The water table is found 1 m below the ground level. The entire soil mass is retained by a concrete retaining wall and is in the active state. Yu = 19 kN/m', y = 9.81 kN/m³ 4 m $ = 32° Y = 18.5 kN/m', Y, = 9.81 kN/m³ 3 m c = 25 kN/m², = 24° The back of the wall is smooth and sat vertical. The total active earth pressure (expressed in kN/m?) at point A as per Rankine's theory is
