The cross section of a cantilever retaining wall is shown in the figure below. Calculate QT the factor of safety with respect to overturning, sliding, and bearing capacity. Use Rankine's theory and neglect the passive pressure in your calculation. (Note: Refer to the table in the next page for the bearing capacity factors)
