A gravity retaining wall is shown below. Calculate the FS with respect to overturning, sliding and bearing
capacity. Wall dimensions: H=2.5m,x1=0.50m,x2=1.1m,x3=1.5m,x4=0.8m,x5=0.9m,x6=0.5m,D=0.7m. Soil
properties: 1=18kNm3,11'=28,2=19kNm3,2'=20,c2=30kNm2
Note: Use the Rankine active earth pressure in your calculations.
