The cantilever retaining wall, whose cross section is shown below, retains a sandy backfill with soils properties as given in the figure. 5.1. Evaluate the stability of the wall against overturning and sliding. Assume that the passive earth pressure is fully mobilized in front of the wall, i.e. use include passive pressure in your calculations. 5.2. Draw the pressure distribution beneath the retaining wall indicating the numerical values of the maximum and minimum pressures. Given density of concrete = 24kN/m3
