Question: Example 1 3 . 1 6 : A retaining wall is battered away from the fill from bottom to top at an angle of 1

Example 13.16: A retaining wall is battered away from the fill from bottom to top at an angle
of 15 with the vertical. Height of the wall is 6 m . The fill slopes upwards at an angle 15 away
from the rest of the wall. The friction angle is 30 and wall friction angle is 15. Using Cou-
lomb's wedge theory, determined the total active and passive thrusts on the wall, per lineal
metre assuming =20kNm3.
