(b) Assuming Rankine conditions, show lateral earth pressure distributions (with key values marked in) at the back of the wall shown below. Hence, calculate the magnitude, direction, and position of the resultant active force (i.e. due to active soil pressure and possible water pressure) per meter length of the wall. NB: KQ = (1 - sin ø)/(1 + sin ø) Pa = on = k0, for cohesionless soils Pa = Oh = K20,- 2cu(K)0.5 for cohesive soils (10 marks) = - = Water table Loose sand: Saturated density, p=1700 kg/m 0.-30 C. = 0 kPa 5.5 m Soft clay: Saturated density, p = 1850 kg/ml C. - 10 kPa
