Question: A smooth backed vertical wall is 5 . 3 m high and retains a soil with a bulk unit weight of = 2 3 .

A smooth backed vertical wall is 5.3m high and retains a soil with a bulk
unit weight of =23.9kNm3 and =37. The top of the soil is level
with the top of the wall and is horizontal . If the soil surface carries a
uniformly distributed load of q=19kNm2, as shown in the figure below.
1- The total active thrust on the wall per linear meter of the wall is
155.6KN
245.3KN
208.7KN
219.3KN
108.6KN
