Refer to the stability calculations for sliding and overturning for a cantilever retaining wall, briefly state the major reason why we do not consider (or why we apply a reduction to) the passive resistance in front of a cantilever retaining wall in F.S. calculations. Note: the answer must be related to the graph given below, and “to be on the safe side" is not a valid answer.
