Find out the answer only overturning.
Use K1=K2=0.65, concrete unit weight is 160 pcf. Neglect friction between the retaining wall's back face and retained soil. All dimensions are in feet. Assume groundwater at 9 feet above the wall's heel. 1. Calculate the factor of safety with respect to sliding, overturning, and bearing capacity. Soil type I II Y/ Y sat (pef) 120/145 100/120 0 500 C (psf) (degrees) 40 11 Drawing not to scale 1 Soil Type I -2 Soil Type II -4- 11 4 Soil Type II 1
