PROBLEM 1:
A retaining wall has a height of 6m and is supporting a horizontal backfill as shown.
1. Compute the Rankine active force per unit length of wall (in
kN/m).
g= 16 kN/m3
C = 0
f = 32
6m
2. Compute the Rankine passive force per unit length of wall (in
kN/m).
3. Compute the lateral force per unit length of wall if the wall is prevented from
Moving (in kN/m).
