Question:

With the SV, L, and ll determined in Problem 17.9, check the overall stability (i.e., factor of safety against overturning, sliding, and bearing capacity failure) of the wall. For the in situ soil, γ2 = 16.8 kN/m3, ϕ'2 = 20°, and c'2 = 55 kN/m2.


Problem 17.9

A retaining wall with geotextile reinforcement is 6 m high. For the granular backfill, γ1 = 15.9 kN/m3 and ϕ'1 = 30°. For the geotextile, Tall = 16 kN/m. For the design of the wall, determine SV, L, and ll. Use FS(B) = FS(P) = 1.5.
