Given the cantilever gravity retaining wall supporting a backfill of coarse-grained soil as shown. Note: Neglect the passive force and the weight of the soil in front of the wall. 9, = 20 kPa 0.5 m 8° Yoar = 18 kN/m3 , = 25° 6.1 m Backfill - Drainage blanket 1.0 m Y. = 23.5 kN/m³ 0.9 m %3D -1.8 m -3 m 1) Determine the location of the resultant active force from the toe in m.
