Question 5 A backfill soil has the following characteristics: Angle of the backfill slope = 0 deg Height = 22 ft Density = 110 pcf Internal friction = 35 deg Length of the wall = 1 ft for analysis (continuous) Surcharge at top of backfill = 250 psf Using Rankine's theory, what is the lateral force produced by the surcharge? Horizontal force of 2.5 kips applied at 7.26-ft of the base. Horizontal force of 3.0 kips applied at 8.8-ft of the base. Horizontal force of 1.5 kips applied at 11-ft of the base. Horizontal force of 1.0 kips applied at 7.26-ft of the base.
