QUESTION 1
A 6 m tall retaining wall shown below is to be backfilled with non-cohesive soil that has the following prope
Soil Layer 1
Layer thickness =1m
Moist unit weight =16kN//m3
Internal friction angle =30 degrees
Soil Layer 2
Layer thickness =3m
Moist unit weight =17kN//m3
Internal friction angle =35 degrees
Soil Layer 3
Layer thickness =2m
Saturated unit weight =21kN//m3
Internal friction angle =28 degrees
The groundwater table is 4 m down from the top of the backfill, at the Layer 2 and 3 interface as shown.
Plot or create a complete table showing the total lateral earth pressure acting on the wall as a function
