Ask a a) Calculate the total active thrust on a vertical wall 5 m high retaining sand of unit weight 17 kN / (m ^ 3) for which phi = 35 deg The surface is horizontal and the water table is below the bottom of the wall. (b) Determine the thrust on the wall if the water table rises to a level 2 m below the surface of the sand. The saturated unit weight of the sand is 20kN / (m ^ 3) and you will be sure to find an answer!
