A concrete retaining wall (y=150 lb/ft) supporting a cohesionless backfill and surcharge pressure q=250 lb/ft? is shown in the figure below. Assume that the average pore pressure along the base of the wall due to the higher pressure is 500 psf. (Yw62.4 lb/ft) a. Calculate the factor of safety against sliding (15%) b. Calculate the factor of safety against overturning (15%) c'-0, 0-32° 122 bit 13 2ft 4ft 1241 66 C-0.0=38 Y128 lb
