B)Pa.(Rankine conditions) is not a function of whether the soil behind the wall has a surcharge or
not.
C) After analyzing a wall, it was determined that the factors of safety for overturning, sliding, and bearing capacity are all =2.5. The design of the wall is fine.
D) Ignoring Pp in the F.S. calculations, makes the design more conservative.
