You have to review the design of a cantilevered concrete retaining wall designed for the height and soil as shown in the figure. Please check the design and provide your recommendation for the following situation: - 200 psf Surcharge load on top of the backfill material Lean clay at foundation same soil for backfill Dry unit weight of soil Cohesion/adhesion of the clay/concrete Bearing capacity of the soil Active earth pressure coefficient Ignore the effect of ground water table Unit...
Figure shows a cantilever sheet-pile wall penetrating a granular soil. Assume, γ = 15.5 kN/m3, γsat = 18 kN/m3, φ΄ = 18o, and γw = 10 kN/m3.(a) Draw the pressure diagram of the cantilever sheet-pile wall (may not necessarily be on scale).(b) Determine the theoretical depth of embedment.(c) What should be the minimum section modulus of the sheet piles? Use σall = 180 MN/m2.
A gravity retaining wall is shown in figure. Use Rankine active earth pressure theory. Determine:a. The factor of safety against overturningb. The factor of safety against slidingc. The factor of safety for bearing capacityd. The pressure on the soil at the toe and heelAssume, γconcrete = 24 kN/m3. Also, consider the weight of the soil behind the wall and consider the passive earth pressure.
