Problem 1 (35 points) Determine the factor of safety of the retaining wall (shown below) with respect to overturning, sliding, and bearing capacity. (Unit weight of concrete = 24 mm) kN m3 Is the wall stable against overturning, sliding, and bearing capacity? If not, what is your solution for the wall instability. Hint: Use Rankine method 50 kPa 0.5 m V = 18 kN = 34°, C=0 5.0 m 1.5 m 0.5 m 1.0 m 1.0 m 1.5 m y = 19 KN Im3 . 0 = 24°, C=10 kPa
