A retaining wall supports a horizontal backfill that is composed of two types of soil. The first layer is 4.79 meters high. It has a unit weight of 16.61 kN/m3. The second layer is 6.58 meters and has a unit weight of 18.72 kN/m3. If the angle of friction for both layers is 34°, determine the total active force (kN) acting on the retaining wall per unit width. Final answer should be in two decimal places.
The following figure shows a section of an anchored retaining wall embedded into a saturated stiff clay layer. The sand has a unit weight of = 18 kN/m³, c' = 0 kPa and o' = 34º. The clay has a unit weight of = 20 kN/m³, c₁ = 80 kPa and = 0°. A uniform pressure of 40 kPa is applied on the soil surface. The short term stability of the wall is considered in an undrained analysis. Use the Rankin's theory of lateral earth pressure to determine the active and passive horizontal stresses.
