b) The 7 m high retaining wall is shown in Figure Q2 (b). Determine; (i) Rankine active and passive force per unit length of the wall together with the location of the resultant force. ( 8 marks) (ii) Rankine active force per unit length of the wall and the location of the resultant force if the groundwater level was found at 2 m from the ground surface. Given saturated unit weight is 19kN/m3 with a friction angle of 35∘. (13 marks)
