16.6 A 5 m high smooth vertical wall retains a clay backfill with and = 25°, and y = 19.0 kN/m³. If the clay c' = = 10 kN/m², '= 25°, is in active state, determine the following: a. The maximum tensile stress within the clay b. The depth of the tensile cracks c. The magnitude and location of the active thrust, neglect- ing the tensile zone
