Investigate the stability against overturning, sliding resistance (con-sider passive earth pressure at the toe), and foundation soil pressure of the retaining wall shown in Fig XXXXXXXXXXThe retaining wall is to support a deposit of granular soil, which has a unit weight of 17.30 kN/m3 and an angle of internal friction of 32°. The coefficient of base friction is 0.50. Allowable soil pressure for the foundation soil is 144 kN/m2. Use Rankine theory to calculate both active and passive earth pressures.
