A thin clay layer passes through the soil at an angle of 30° behind an 8m high gravity retaining wall. A structure 5m wide, applying a uniform stress of 40kPa to the sandy soil, also acts on this section of soil as shown in Figure 3.1. The properties of the clay are ??=25???, ∅?=0, ?′=0 and ∅′=20°. The sandy soil properties are ?′=0, ∅′=35°, ????=16??/?2, ????=20??/?2, and between the sand and the wall the properties are ?′?=0 and ∅′?=30°.

A level ground surface exists in an area where soil in the underlying stratum has a wet unit weight of 19 kN/m3. The vertical pressure at any depth represents the major principal stress. The vertical pressure (stress) is the product of the soil unit weight and depth. The lateral pressure at a corresponding depth is 0.45 times the vertical pressure and represents the minor principal stress.
