Problem # 4 (20 points) +0.6m For the retaining wall shown in the figure, 10° Backfill soil (a) Calculate the resultant earth force (P.) acting on the back of the wall using the Coulomb's method. (b) Calculate the factor of safety against overturning (c) Calculate the factor of safety against sliding. * =18kN/m c=0 H=36° = 24 3.5m . Assume that the water table is well below the bottom of the wall and the passive force in the front of the wall is negligible. Masonry wall 24 kN/m2 Solution -2339 0.5m 1.8m In-situ soil 2 =17kN/mº, c = 0; 4= 33°: 8; = 22°
