A smooth vertical retaining wall, 3m high, pushes against a granular backfill whose angle of internal friction is 30o. The backfill is sloped at 10 o. Assume the unit weight of the backfill is 17.6 kN/m3, determine the passive resistance Pp using the trial wedge method. Compare the results using Rankine’s method and comment on any differences.

Figure 15.45 shows a gravity retaining wall retaining a granular (c' = 0) backfill. The same soil is present at the bottom of the wall and on the left. The unit weight and the friction angle of the backfill are 18.5 kN/m3 and 35°, respectively. The unit weight of concrete is 24.0 kN/m3. Determine the factors of safety with respect to overturning, sliding, and bearing capacity failure. Use Rankine earth pressure theory.
