A retaining wall, 8 m high with a smooth vertical back, retains a clay backfill with c' = 15 kN/m2, φ' = 15°, and γ = 18 kN/m3. Assuming that tension cracks may develop to the full theoretical depth, the active thrust on the wall per unit length is:
- 161.67 kN/m✓
- 246.00 kN/m
- 320.00 kN/m
- 423.00 kN/m
Correct answer
61.67 kN/m
