CVLE$465$ Earth Retaining Structures

Assignment $2$

$($a$)$ Design a reinforced earth retaining wall using galvanized steel strip reinforcement in a granular backfill as shown in Figure $1$ using the data given in Table $1.$ Check the internal and external stability. Assume the corrosion rate of the galvanized steel is $0\mathrm{.}025m\frac{m}{?}$ year and the life span of the structure to be $50$ years. Required $F{S}_B=F{S}_P=3.$

$($b$)$ Solve the same problem using Geo$5$ software.
