Part 1: Lateral Earth Pressure: Q1: Estimate the active lateral earth pressure distribution and forces acting behind a 6 metre high retaining wall, which retains 2 metres of sandit 1 (Y=20 kN/m?c=0.6-30") on top of 4 metres of sand #2 (r=22 kN/m.c-00935"), and the watertable is located 3 metres above the base of the wall (ignore flow at this time). What is the total horizontal force acting on the wall?
