Question: A gravity retaining wall is shown in Fig. 1 . Calculate the factor of safety with respect to overturning and sliding using the Rankine active

A gravity retaining wall is shown in Fig. 1. Calculate the factor of safety with respect to overturning and sliding using the Rankine active earth pressure, given the following data:
Wall dimensions: H=6m,x1=0.6m,x2=2m,x3=2m,x4=0.5m,x5=0.75m,x6=0.8m,D=1.5m
Soil properties: 1=16.5kNm3,1'=320,2=18kNm3,2'=220,c2'=40kNm2
Use concrete=23.58kNm3. Also use '2=23'2 and ca'=23c'2, and Pp=0.
A gravity retaining wall is shown in Fig. 1 .
