[ANSWER 11-7A please]
11-7. What is the total active earth pressure per foot of
wall for the retaining wall in Problem 11-4, with an
angle of wall friction between backfill and wall of
25, using Coulomb theory? answer found: PA =6862.5 lb/ft=6.9 k/ft.
11-7a. Assume that the base of the wall is 4 feet wide, and the
wall is constructed of reinforced concrete (unit weight
of 150 pounds per cubic foot). Using the same angle
of friction between the backfill and the wall as the
friction between the bottom of the wall and the
underlying soil (assume the same soil parameters
shown in Figure 11-39), determine the Factor of Safety
of the Retaining Wall for SLIDING and
OVERTURNING.
