Please draw neat diagrams.
A 10' tall wall retains a sand backfill (phi= 30 degrees) with a saturated unit weight of 120 lb/f3. The dry unit weight is 100 pcf.
The water table is 2' beneath the ground surface.
1. What is the magnitude and location of the horizontal force on the wall, if it remains
at rest? [Note: Ko = 1-sino (1-sin(phi) ; Ka = tan (45-phi/2) and Kp = tan^2(45 + phi/2)]
