Question: Refer to Figure 16.17. Given H = 6 m, = 18.5 kN/m 3 , ' = 33, ' = 22, c' = 0,

Refer to Figure 16.17. Given H = 6 m, γ = 18.5 kN/m3, ϕ' = 33°, δ' = 22°, c' = 0, α = 10°, and β = 80°, use Eqs. (16.50) and (16.51) to determine the magnitude of the active thrust on the wall, assuming earthquake loading with the following parameters: kv = 0 and kh = 0.15.

Granular backfill c' = 0 W H F Pae


Eqs. (16.50)

Granular backfill c' = 0 W H F Pae


Eqs. (16.51)

Granular backfill c' = 0 W H F Pae
