Question: A vertical sheet pile retaining wall is 9 . 7 5 m high and supports a 6 . 5 m excavation. The soil profile revealed

A vertical sheet pile retaining wall is 9.75 m high and supports a 6.5 m excavation. The soil profile revealed a 4.5 m surface layer of medium clay with a unit weight of 11 kN/m^3 and drained shear strength parameters (c,) of 12 kPa, 27 over an extensive layer of stiff clay with a unit weight of 17 kN/m^3 and drained shear strength parameters (c,) of 14 kPa, 17. It is anticipated that the excavated material will form a surcharge of 14.5 kPa at the surface of the retained soil. If the wall was designed using Daish Rule, check the adequacy of the design with respect to both rotation and fixity
