The wall below is supporting a sand backfill with a uniform surcharge load.The wall is to be used to resist a force pushing against the wall (not shown). AssumeRankine conditions(a) Compute and plot the horizontal stress distributions down the wall. Label values at the top and base of the wall, and at the water table.(b) Determine the resultant force on the wall that you would use for design and it's location relative to the base. This total force is the resistance the wall can provide.
