(a) For the wall dimensions given, check the overturning and sliding stabilities of the gravity wall given. Assume a cohesionless bakfill sloping at 10 to horizontal, and a wall back at 70 with the horizontal, and wall friction angle of 20.
(b)What will be the increment in lateral earth forces when dynamic pressures are effective in a seismic zone? (Assume kv=0.3)
(c) Show the point of application of the lateral earth forces.
