For the retaining wall shown in Figure 1, determine the following, assuming an over-
consolidation ratio of 1 :
Pressure distribution (v,u, and v'); plot on the same graph. In making these plots use the
following scales: Horizontal: 1"=400 psf; Vertical: 1"=5'.
Pressure distributions (h' at rest and h at rest); plot on the same graph. Use the same scales
as Part a.
Pressure distributions (h' active and hactive); plot on the same graph. Use the same scales
as Part a.
Magnitude and location of the resultant force on the basement wall for the active earth
pressure case.
Sand
c=35
t=115pcf
