Question
A retaining wall $6\text{ m}$ high, with a smooth vertical back is pushed against a soil mass having $c' = 40\text{ kN/m}^2$ and $\Phi = 15^\circ$, $\gamma = 19\text{ kN/m}^3$. What is the total Rankine passive pressure, if the horizontal soil surface carries a uniform load of $50\text{ kN/m}^2$ ? What is the point of application of the resultant thrust ?
