Question: Figure shows a 5 . 0 - m - high retaining wall ( back filled with OC sand ) . Water table is at 3

Figure shows a 5.0-m-high retaining wall (back filled with OC sand). Water table is at
3.5m. Calculate the lateral force Po per unit length of the wall. Also, determine the location
of the resultant force.
OCR=1.4
3.5m c'=0 f'=35 unit weight = kN/m3
1.5m c'=0 f'=35, Unit weight sat = kN/m3
