A retaining wall 6m high is supporting a horizontal backfill having a dry unit weight of 15.70kN/m^3. The cohensionless soil has an angle of friction of 32 degrees. a) Compute the Rankine active force on the wall. b) Compute the Rankine active force on the wall if water logging occurs at a depth 3.5m from the ground surface. Saturated unit weight is 19.68 kN/m^3. c) Compute the location of the resultant force considering the condition in letter B.
