Question

Assume a smooth retaining wall as shown below. Calculate the active force due to the earth pressure only acting on the right side of the wall in kN per unit length (considering a 1 m length in the out-of-plane direction). The soil properties shown in the figure apply to either side of the wall

g = 9.81m/s2
