Question 1 a) Retaining wall are used to hold earth or other material in a vertical position at locations where a sudden change in ground level occurs. There are many types of retaining wall used for stability of ground. Describe briefly FIVE (5) different types of retaining wall. Use sketches to support your answer. b) A 6.1 m high retaining wall consists of 2 layers of soils (Figure Qlb). Soil 1 is above the water table having friction angle, o' of 30° and unit weight, y of 16 kN/m'. Soil 2 having a friction angle, o' of 36°, and saturated unit weight, ysat is 19 kN/m³ Both soil layer has a cohesion, c' of 0.

The following figure shows a section of an anchored retaining wall embedded into a saturated stiff clay layer. The sand has a unit weight of = 18 kN/m³, c' = 0 kPa and o' = 34º. The clay has a unit weight of = 20 kN/m³, c₁ = 80 kPa and = 0°. A uniform pressure of 40 kPa is applied on the soil surface. The short term stability of the wall is considered in an undrained analysis. Use the Rankin's theory of lateral earth pressure to determine the active and passive horizontal stresses. You should apply the requirements of AS 4678 and the partial factors of safety method in estimation of soil pressures. Assume the soil is in-situ and use a structural classification factor of ₁ = 1. 3m 1m Water table 1.5m 40 kPa Not to Scale Sand Clay Ta
