Question: Q 2 - b ) A reinforced retaining wall 8 . 0 m high retains a cohesionless soil having a unit weight of 1 9

Q2-b) A reinforced retaining wall 8.0 m high retains a cohesionless soil having a unit weight of 19.3kNm3 and angle of internal friction of 34. Aluminum strips 7 cm wide and 2 mm thick are used as reinforcement. A uniform load of 20kNm2 is subjected to the back filling surface. Check the reinforcement No.8 for breakage, if the vertical and horizontal spacing are 80 cm . Consider the allowable stress of the aluminum is 155 MPa , angle of friction soil - reinforcement is 32 and the unit weight of the reinforced soil is 20.2kNm3.
