Consider the solid gravity wall with an irregular backfill, two distributed loads, and one concentrated load shown below. The soil is a dry sand with a unit weight of 120 pcf and an angle of internal friction of 30 degrees. The angle of friction between the wall and the soil is assumed to be 20 degrees. Use the trial wedge method to evaluate the factors of safety against overturning, sliding, and bearing capacity assuming that the subsoil has the same properties as the backfill.
