Question: For Nos. 9 to 1 2 : The retaining wall supports a horizontal backfill with a surchargo load of 1 2 K N m 2

For Nos. 9 to 12: The retaining wall supports a horizontal backfill with a surchargo load of 12KNm2.
Soil Properties of backfill:
Unit weight of backfill soil =18KNm3; Angle of internal friction =28; Cohesion =10KPa
Soil Properties at the toe:
Unit weight of soil at toe =19.5KNm3. Angle of internal friction =30; Cohesion = zero
Concrete Retaining Wall properties:
Unit weight of concrete =23.6KNm3; Coefficient of base friction =0.25
Determine:

a.)54.82 kN
b.)63.43 kN
c.)48.74 KN
d.)92.51 KN
10. Rankine's passive force per unit length at the toe of the retaining wall.
a.)7.92 KN
b.)60.76 KN
c.)56.09 KN
d.)65.81 KN
11. Factor of safety against sliding considering the passive earth pressure at the toe.
a.)1.93
b.)1.25
c.)3.15
d.)1.75
12. Factor of safety against overturning considering the passive earth pressure at the toe.
a.)2.24
b.)3.51
c.)1.83
