Question

The L-shaped retaining wall shown retains soil on the right side and water on the left side is to be analyzed. Fluid pressure is shown with bottom pressure equal to P₁acting on the left side of the wall. Soil pressure is also shown with bottom pressures P₂ and P₃, acting on the right sides of the wall. Trapezoidal uplift pressure due to seepage is acting at the bottom of the wall with pressure P₄ on the side of the water (on point A) and P₅ on point B. The horizontal part of the wall is also subjected to the weight of the soil above it with magnitude P₆. The wall is made of concrete with unit weight 23.5 kN/m³. Assume 1 meter width for the analysis and include the self-weight of the structure.
