Question
The cross section of a cantilever retaining wall is given below. Based on the given soil properties and
wall geometry: (x = 23.5 kN/m³).
Wall dimensions: H = 5 m, X₁ = 0.3 m, X₂=0.80 m, X3 = 1.25 m, X4 = 2 m, X5 = 0.55 m, D = 1 m
Soil properties: y = 17 kN/m³, Ø₁ = 29°, 72= 18 kN/m³, 0₂ = 22°, c₂ = 30 kN/m²
