Question

A retaining wall supports a horizontal backfill that is composed of two types of soil. The first layer is 4.79 meters high. It has a unit weight of 16.61 kN/m3. The second layer is 6.58 meters and has a unit weight of 18.72 kN/m3. If the angle of friction for both layers is 34°, determine the total active force (kN) acting on the retaining wall per unit width. Final answer should be in two decimal places.
