a The base of a long retaining wall is 3 m wide and is 1 m below the ground surface in front of the wall: the water table is well below base level. The vertical and horizontal components of the base reaction are 282 kN/m and 102 kN/m respectively: the eccentricity of the base reaction is 0.36 m. If the appropriate shear strength parameters for the foundation soil are c' = 0 and $' = 35', unit weight of soil is 18 kN/m2. Water table is well below surface. Determine the ultimate capacity of the foundation. (hints: Use the General Bearing Capacity equation with lateral load and eccentricity)
