Figure P17.1 shows a gravity retaining wall retaining a granular (c' = 0) backfill. The same soil
Question:
Figure P17.1 shows a gravity retaining wall retaining a granular (c' = 0) backfill. The same soil is present at the bottom of the wall and on the left. The unit weight and the friction angle of the backfill are 18.5 kN/m3 and 35°, respectively. The unit weight of the concrete is 24.0 kN/m3 and δ' = 2/3 ϕ'. Determine the factors of safety with respect to overturning, sliding, and bearing capacity failure.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
