Question
A retaining wall with a smooth vertical back retains sand backfill for a depth of 6m. The
horizontal 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) backfill
fully drained but the top of wall is restrained against yielding: (b) backfill fully drained
and the wall is free to yield, and (c) wall free to yield, water table at 3m depth without
drainage. Determine the point of application for the resultant thrust case(c).
