Question

It is required to design a cantilever retaining wall to retain a 5.0 m high sandy backfill. The dimensions of the cantilever wall are shown in Figure 15.52 along with the soil properties. Check the stability with respect to sliding and overturning, based on the active earth pressures determined, using
a. Coulomb's earth pressure theory (δ' = 24°), and
b. Rankine's earth pressure theory.
The unit weight of concrete is 24 .0 kN/m3
