Question: K a = 1 - s i n ' 1 + s i n ' = t a n 2 ( 4 5 - '

Ka=1-sin'1+sin'=tan2(45-'2),Kp=1+sin'1-sin'=tan2(45+'2)
Ka=1Kp=1-sin'1+sin',
K0=1-sin',
a=(*z+q)*Ka-2*c*Ka2,p=(*z+q)*Kp+2*c*Kp2
Using the Rankine theory, determine the total active thrust on a vertical retaining wall 5m high if the soil retained has a horizontal surface level with the top of the wall and has the following properties: '=35;=19kNm3.
K a = 1 - s i n ' 1 + s i n ' = t a n 2 ( 4 5 - '
