A retaining wall with a smooth vertical back retains sand backfill for a depth of 6m. Thehorizontal backfill has the following properties. d' = 0, y = 16KN/m³; Vsat = 20k N/m³.Calculate the magnitude of total thrust against the wall for given conditions: (a) backfillfully drained but the top of wall is restrained against yielding: (b) backfill fully drainedand the wall is free to yield, and (c) wall free to yield, water table at 3m depth withoutdrainage. Determine the point of application for the resultant thrust case(c).
