solutions without clear steps, calculations, and necessary graphs....etc. Problem #I (15 points): Assume normally-consolidated soil and the wall is free to move forward. q=1000 psf, H = 14 feet, Dr= 4 feet. The wall back is frictionless. All dimensions are in foot. Assuming a water table behind the retaining wall is at (8) below the wall's top, calculate the resultant of the lateral pressures on the proposed retaining wall. (15 points) Soil type y/ysat (pct) C (psf) 0 (degree) 1 (retained soil) 120/145 0 30 II (bearing material) 110/130 50 2 q(psf) H H н Soil Type (retained soil) Df Soil Type 11 (bearing material) Not to Scale
