Question 1 A 6.0 m cantilever retaining wall with a surcharge of 15 KPa on the level of backfill. Use the following values: soil weight = 18 KN/m3, concrete weight = 23.5 KN/m3, angle of internal friction of soil = 33 degrees, coefficient of sliding friction (concrete on soil) = 0.5, compressive strength of concrete = 21 MPa;, yield strength of steel = 414 MPa, allowable soil pressure = 250 kPa. SURCHARGE = 15 kPa 400 mm 6 m 1.5 m 600 mm- 1800 mm 600 mm 800 mm 1. Calculate the overturning moment. Blank 1 2. Calculate the righting moment. Blank 2 3.
