A retaining wall has a vertical back face with a horizontal granular backfill. Given: H = 4

Question:

A retaining wall has a vertical back face with a horizontal granular backfill. Given: H = 4 m, δ = 19 kN/m3, ϕ' = 30°, and δ' = 2/3 ϕ'. Estimate the passive force, Pp, per unit length of the wall using the Terzaghi and Peck's wedge theory (Figure 14.4).
