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.

Unit weight:
Angle of friction: mean value = 40°;
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°
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.
