A gravity retaining wall is being designed to retain 10.0 m of soil consisting of 7.0 m of sand and 3.0 m of clay as shown in Fig. 4. Assuming the entire soil is in active state, determine and sketch the lateral earth pressure distribution along the wall height. The soil properties are as shown.

Q.2 The thin-walled section is shown in figure has uniform wall thickness of 0.5 in. Assume a = 1 in, b = 3 in, h = 8 in. if it is subjected to vertical downward shear force, V = 1200 lb. a) Draw the shear flow diagram for the cross section. b) Compute the distance e from the center line of the wall to the shear center S.

The following concrete gravity wall of 7 m in height retains a sandy backfill. A sand sample from the backfill was brought to the laboratory and tested in a direct shear device under a normal stress of 100 kPa and failure occurred at a shear stress level of 63.4 kPa. Using the Rankine theory, determine the total active earth pressure at the base of the wall when: a) the backfill is dry, b) the backfill is partially submerged in water for a water level at 3.5m from the base of the wall, c) the backfill is fully submerged in water, which means the water table is at the ground surface. Notes: - The saturated unit weight of the soil is 19 kN/m³ -The moist unit weight of the soil is 17 kN/m³ - The dry unit weight of the soil is 15 kN/m³ Summarize your results in this table: b) Total active earth pressure at the base of the wall (kPa)
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
