Earth-Pressure--and-Retaining--Walls

Compute intensities of active and passive earth pressure at a depth of 8 m in dry cohesionless sand with an angle of friction of `30^0` and unit weight of 18 KN/`m^3`. What will be intensities of active and passive earth pressure if water level rises to ground level? Take saturated unit weight of sand as 22 KN/`m^3`.

Compute intensities of active and passive earth pressure at a depth of 8 m in dry cohesionless sand with an angle of friction of `30^0` and unit weight of 18 KN/`m^3`. What will be intensities of active and passive earth pressure if water level rises to ground level? Take saturated unit weight of sand as 22 KN/`m^3`.

A retaining wall 4m high has a smooth vertical back. The backfill has a horizontal surface in level with the top of the wall. There is a uniformly distributed surcharge load of intensity 36 KN/`m^3` over the backfill. The unit weight of the backfill is 18 KN/`m^3` and angle of shearing resistance is `30^0` and cohesion is zero. Determine the magnitude and point of application of active pressure per metre length of the wall.
