The proposed design of the cantilever retaining wall will be constructed on clay soil as shown in Figure Q2 (b). The backfill is a coarse grained soil and inclined at 8∘. The live load from a rural main road is 15kN/m2. The ground water level is located 2 m below the base. (i) Evaluate the stability of the retaining wall in terms of overturning (6 marks) (ii) Design the stability of the retaining wall in terms of bearing capacity. (5 marks) (iii) Evaluate the factor of safety against sliding of the proposed retaining structure. ( 5 marks) (iv) If the factor of safety against sliding is less than 1.5, propose THREE (3) suitable methods to increase the stability against sliding. ( 3 marks)
