A vertical retaining wall 8.2 meters high retains a horizontal backfill having the following properties: Void ratio = 0.67; Specific Gracvity = 2.67; Water Content = 23 %; Angle of internal Friction = 26°. Compute the location of the active force in meters from the bottom of the wall acting on it if the water table is 3.1 meters below the ground surface.
