Details of a reinforced concrete cantilever retaining wall are shown in Fig. 2, the unit weight of concrete being 27 kN/m³. Due to inadequate drainage, the water table has risen to the level indicated. Above the water table the unit weight of the retained soil is 19 kN/m3, and below the water table the saturated unit weight is 22 kN/m³. Characteristic values of the shear strength parameters are ‘0 and Ø 32°. Compute Magnitude and point of application of lateral earth pressure acting on the wall
