Expert Solution

Step 1: Expressing active earth pressure

The expression for active earth pressure, say p_a at any depth z for a cohesive back-fill can be written as:

$p_{a, z} = k_{a} (q + γ z) - 2 c \sqrt{k_{a}}$

here,

k_a : Coefficient of active earth pressure

q : surcharge acting on top of the back-fill

$γ$ : unit weight of the soil

c : cohesion

A retaining wall supports a horizontal backfill that is composed of two types of soil. The first layer is 4.79 meters high. It has a unit weight of 16.61 kN/m3. The second layer is 6.58 meters and has a unit weight of 18.72 kN/m3. If the angle of friction for both layers is 34°, determine the total active force (kN) acting on the retaining wall per unit width. Final answer should be in two decimal places.
