quaITON PROBLEM 3: The L-shaped retaining wall shown retains soll on the right side and water on the left side is to be analyzed. Fluid pressure is shown with bottom pressure equal to P acting on the left side of the wall. Soll pressure is also shown with bottom pressures P2 and Py, acting on the right sides of the wall. Trapessidal uplift pressure due to seepage is acting at the bottom of the wall with pressure P4 on the side of the water (on point A) and Pyon point. The horisontal part of the wall is also subjected to the weight of the soll above it with magnitude Pg. The wall is made of concrete with unit weight 23.5 km²³. Assume 1 meter width for the analysis and include the self-weight of the structure.

Consider the smooth retaining wall shown below. Assume that the backfill is under active and undrained conditions and the water table is at the ground surface. Which of the following statements is true? (select all that apply) The active earth pressure is proportional to the vertical effective stress over depth. Tension crack can develop behind the retaining wall if no surcharge is applied. The resultant thrust acting on the wall only depends on the lateral earth pressure. Rankine’s theory can be used for all cases when there is some friction at the interface between the wall and the soil. When the wall is smooth, the slip surfaces are planar, and Rankine’s theory can be used.
