Question: Refer to Figure 18.37. Given: L 1 = 4 m, L 2 = 6 m, l 1 = 2 m; for the sand, =

Refer to Figure 18.37. Given: L1 = 4 m, L2 = 6 m, l1 = 2 m; for the sand, γ = 17.0 kN/m3, γsat = 19.0 kN/m3, ϕ' = 34°; and for the clay, γsat = 20.0 kN/m3, c = 40 kN/m2, ϕ = 0.

Determine the theoretical depth of embedment (D) and the anchor force (F).
