Problem 2) The soil behind the retaining wall is composed of two layers. The top layer is a sand
with an effective angle of friction of '=19 and the bottom layer is an over-consolidated clay. A
newly-built structure on top of the soil introduces a surcharge of 250psf. The undrained cohesion
of the clay is cu=45psf. Calculate the lateral forces from just the soil on the right side of the wall.
