Question: 2 . Check the stability ( overturning , sliding ) of the gravity wall - backfill system shown in Figure 2 , with the data

2. Check the stability (overturning, sliding) of the gravity wall-backfill system shown in Figure 2, with the data given in Table 2, and state if the selected dimensions are safe or not (Use Coulomb's theory of earth pressures).
Figure 2. Gravity retaining wall.
