6. Details of a retaining wall are shown in the figure below. The unit weight of the wall material is 23 kN/m³. Assume a reduction factor K = 2/3 to consider the cohesion and friction angle at the base slab. Check the stability of the wall in terms of overturning and sliding failure. Use Rankine's theory to compute the active earth pressure. Soil 2 Y2 = 17 kN/m³ 6.5 m Im 2 m <-1.5m - Yc = 23 kN/m³ c₂ = 10 kN/m² 92 = 25° a = 15⁰ Soil 1 Y₁ = 16 kN/m³ c₁ = 0 kN/m² P₁ = 30°
