11.7 A retaining wall of 6 m height having a smooth back retains a backfill made up of two strata shown in Fig. Prob. 11.7. Construct the active earth pressure diagram and find the magnitude and point of application of the resultant thrust. Assume the backfill above WT remains dry Cinder H, = 2 m G, = 2.5, n = 0.7 Q = 35° Sand H2 = 4 m G = 2.6, n = 0.3 o = 30° 2 m Figure Prob. 11.7
