Redo Problem 16.16 using Eqs. (16.52) and (16.56) to determine the magnitude and location of the active thrust on the wall.

Problem 16.16

Refer to Figure 16.17. Given H = 6 m, γ = 18.5 kN/m³, ϕ' = 33°, δ' = 22°, c' = 0, α = 10°, and β = 80°, use Eqs. (16.50) and (16.51) to determine the magnitude of the active thrust on the wall, assuming earthquake loading with the following parameters: k_v = 0 and k_h = 0.15.
