Figure 5.4 shows details of a mass stone rubble retaining wall which has a unit weight of 20 kN/m³. The retained soil has a level surface and carries a uniform surcharge, w, with a mean value of 15 kN/m² and a standard deviation of 2.5 kN/m². 6 m 5.0 2m 1m ·2··C·0's = 15kN/m² . My = 20kN/m³ M = 40°. 0₁ Fig. 5.4 Example 5.12 The retained soil is granular with the following properties: mean value = 20 kN/m³; s.d. = 1.5 kN/m³ s.d. = 1.5° Unit weight: Angle of friction: mean value = 40°; The foundation soil is granular and its angle of friction has a mean value of 40° and a standard deviation of 3º. The coefficient of friction of the base of the wall and the foundation soil, μ, can be assumed to be equal to the tangent of the angle of friction of the foundation soil. Assuming that the back of the wall is smooth and using Rankine's formula for K₁, determine the reliability index against sliding.
