PROBLEM 4: Consider a concrete retaining wall which the data of its height 5,4 m and
thickness 1 m. The backfill behind the wall will be from
local sandy gravel with a dry unit weight 18,01 kN/m3, cohesion = 0 , and internal
friction angle (28,47o) . The wall will not have to retain water.
Estimate, (a) the lateral force on the wall from the backfill in an active
pressure condition, (b) its stability against overturning, and (c) its stability
against sliding (use a Factor of Safety 2)
