solutions without clear steps, calculations, and necessary graphs....etc. Problem # II(15 points): Assume normally-consolidated soil and the wall is not allowed to move (restrained). q=1000 psf, H = 12 feet, Dr=2 feet. The wall back is frictionless. Assuming a water table behind the retaining wall is at (8) below the wall's top, calculate the resultant of the lateral pressures on the proposed retaining wall. Calculate the passive pressure resultant for the wall's foundation Soil type y/ysat (pc) C (psf) • (degree) 1 (retained soil) 120/140 100 40 II (bearing material) 110/130 1000 0 q(psf) H Soil Type (retained soil) Df Soil Type II (bearing material) Not to Scale 2
