1. A retaining wall with a vertical smooth back is 8m high.

It supports a cohesion-less soil of γ =


19kN/m3, θ = 300. The surface of the soil is horizontal. Determine the thrust on the wall.

2. Determine the resultant force & its point of application on the vertical surface of the wall if the
angle of internal friction for both layer is 300.

3. Explain different types of retaining wall with figure.


4. Determine the magnitude & point of action of active earth thrust acting on the retaining wall
shown in the figure below.
