Question 02: a A smooth vertical retaining wall supports a layered soil deposit with a horizontal surface subjected to a uniform surface loading of 20 kN/m². The water table behind the wall is level with the ground surface. The arrangement with the soil properties is illustrated in Fig. 22. Considering the long-term condition (i.e., effective stress analysis), calculate the maximum lateral force that the wall must be capable of supporting if the wall can move away from the supported soil. 20 kPa W.L.
