A frictionless retaining wall is 7 m high and supports a horizontal backfill with the following properties: dry unit weight = 14.6 kN/m3, saturated unit weight = 19.21 kN/m, angle of friction = 34°. • If the ground water table is very deep, what is the expected total active thrust in the wall if it is 1.5 m wide? [ Select ] • If the ground water table is 3.5 m deep and the soil above the water table is dry, what is the magnitude of the active force in kN per meter of the wall? [Select] • If the ground water table is 3.5 m deep and the soil above the water table is dry, what is the distance of the total active force from the top of the wall? [Select]
