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 = 500 psf, H = 12 feet, Dr=2 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 active pressures on the proposed retaining wall. Soil type y/ysat (pcf) C (psf) (degree) 1 (retained soil) 120/140 100 40 11 (bearing material) 110/130 1000 0 a(psf) H I Н. Soil Type (retained soil) Df Soil Type 11 (bearing material) Not to Scale
