Problem 2(50) Determine the factor of safety of the retaining wall shown in Figure 2 with respect to overturning failure. Given: unit weight of concrete = 24.0 kN/m', 8' - zo'. and c- c. som Sand y-18.0 KN 14" 10 05 -1.5m-20m- Clay y 190 Nm 24 ON Figure 2
Problem 1(50) 2 m The backfill retained by a gravity retaining wall shown in Figure I consists of two sand layers, compacted at different densities. The properties of the sand are shown in the figure. Assuming that the gravity wall does not move laterally (i.e., at-rest), determine the magnitude and location of the thrust on the wall. Sand 1 7- 17.5 kN/m; ' - 32 3 m Sand 2 7-18.5 km; d = 36 Figure 1
