Question: a retaining wall 4 m high, with vertical back supports a backfill with horizonatl ground surface. The soil has unit weight of 1 8 Kn

a retaining wall 4m high, with vertical back supports a backfill with horizonatl ground surface. The soil has unit weight of 18Kn/m^3 and angle of internal friction of 35. The angle of wall friction may be taken as 20. A footing running parallel to the retaining wall and carrying a load intensity of 18KN/m, is to be constructed. Find the distance of the footing from the face of the wall so that there is no increase in lateral pressure on the wall due to the load of footing
