SITUATION. A smooth, vertical wall retains a 7-m high granular backfill with the ground level being horizontal. The water table lies at a depth of 3 m from the top. The friction angle of the backfill is 32°. The bulk and saturated unit weight of the soil are 16.5 kN/m3 and 18.0 kN/m3 respectively. (Assuming the soil is in active state) What is the active earth coefficient? 0.703 0.307 3.255 1.422
