A wall of 6 m height retains a non-cohesive backfill of dry unit weight 18 kN/m3 and an angle of internal friction of 30°. Use Rankine’s theory and find the total active thrust per meter length of the wall. Estimate the change in the total pressure in the following circumstances: (i) The top of the backfill carrying a uniformly distributed load of 6 kN/m2 (ii) The backfill under a submerged condition with the water table at an elevation of 2 m 11.5 below the top of the wall. Assume G, 2.65, and the soil above the water table being saturated
