Question: Problem # 2 A reinforced concrete retaining wall is shown in the figure below. The coefficient of friction between the base and the foundation soil

Problem #2
A reinforced concrete retaining wall is shown in the figure below. The coefficient of friction between the base and the foundation soil is 0.48 and the soil bearing capacity under the base is 500kNm2. Check the structural adequacy of the wall against stability failure, including soil bearing pressure check and overturning check.
Ka=1-sin1+sin=0.27
