Problem 2
A retaining wall with vertical back is 8m high. The density of top 3m of fill is 1.75 Mg/m3
and the angle of friction is 30 degrees. For the lower 5m, the values are 1.85 Mg/m3 and
35 degrees respectively. There is a surcharge load on the horizontal surface of the fill
equivalent to 1.2 Mg/m2 uniformly distributed. Find the (a) magnitude of the thrust on the
wall per l.m if the fill is well drained, (b) magnitude of the thrust on the wall if the fill is
water logged after a storm (assume the saturated quantities of the two strata are 1..9 and
2.0 Mg/m3 respectively), and (c) point of application of the thrust on the wall if the fill is
water logged after a storm.
