The cross-section of a braced cut on a stiff, fissured clay (Y = 19 kN/m3, C = 40 kN/m2) is as shown in figure below. The centre to centre spacing of the struts along the length of cut is 2.5 m. The apparent earth pressure diagram for the soil is also shown below. Assuming no contribution of bottom of cut in stability of the sheeting, what are the loads in the two struts to maintain equilibrium on sheeting?

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. You should apply the requirements of AS 4678 and the partial factors of safety method in estimation of soil pressures.
