A smooth gravity wall retains a 12 m-high backfill as shown in the figurebelow. The top 8 m is sand, which is underlain by some clay. The soilproperties are as follows:Sand: γm = 18.9 kN/m 3, γsat = 19.8 kN/m 3; φ' = 32°Clay: γm = 20.1 kN/m 3; φ' = 18°, c' = 20 kPaAssuming that the entire soil is in the active state, find the location andmagnitude of the total thrust on the wall.
A thin clay layer passes through the soil at an angle of 30° behind an 8m high gravity retaining wall. A structure 5m wide, applying a uniform stress of 40kPa to the sandy soil, also acts on this section of soil as shown in Figure 3.1. The properties of the clay are ??=25???, ∅?=0, ?′=0 and ∅′=20°. The sandy soil properties are ?′=0, ∅′=35°, ????=16??/?2, ????=20??/?2, and between the sand and the wall the properties are ?′?=0 and ∅′?=30°. Assuming that failure occurs along the clay layer, use Coulomb’s method to calculate the horizontal force required from the wall in the short term to prevent slip.
