Problem 2. A gravity retaining wall is shown in Figure 2. Calculate the factor of safety with respect to overturning and sliding, given the following data (Use Coulomb's active earth pressure in your calculation and letting '=231'):
Wall dimensions: H=6m,x1=0.6m,x2=2m,x3=2m,x4=0.5m,x5=0.75m,x6=0.8m,D=1.5m
Soil properties: 1=16.5kNm3,O?1'=32,2=18kNm3,O?2'=22,c2'=40kNm2
Figure 2
?** For both questions, use concrete=23.58kNm3,k1=k2=23, and PP=0 as needed.
