Chapter 5, Problem 5.6.23P
A retaining wall 6 ft high is constructed of horizontal wood planks 2.5 in. thick (actual dimension) that are supported by vertical wood piles of a 12 in, diameter (actual dimension), as shown in the figure. The lateral earth pressure is pt=125 lb/ft2 at
the top of the wall and p2= 425 lb/ft2 at the bottom.
- Assuming that the allowable stress in the wood is 1175 psi, calculate the maximum permissible spacing s of the piles.

Did you calculate the pressure difference between two locations using the correct specific weight?
Did you assume that the pressures in fluid are the same in a horizontal plane even though they are in different tubes?
Are the calculated pressures in a column of fluid always higher at lower elevations?
Did you account for the fact that the two horizontal tubes of the U-tube are above the ground?
Concepts: The pressure in a fluid is a function of the specific weight of the fluid and the height relative to a reference.
Pressure is constant in a horizontal plane of a continuous mass of fluid.
