A retaining wall having a smooth vertical back retains a soil
mass for a depth of 9 m. The soil has the following properties: cu
= 34 kPa; u= 0º; γ = 18kN/m3 . Assume groundwater table is well
below the base of the retaining wall and NO rainwater in the
tension crack.
Calculate the depth of tension crack (in m).
Calculate the resultant active thrust (in kN/m)
Calculate the point of application from base (in
m).

A retaining wall with sloping back, of vertical height 9m
retains soil of density 1.6 Mg/m3, and angle of friction
30o. The soil slopes upwards at 20o to the
horizontal from the back edge of the wall, the angle between the
slope and the back of the wall is 100o. Cohesion
10kN/m2, angle of friction between soil and wall is
25o but there is no cohesion between them. Find the
thrust on the back wall per metre run using trial...

A ladder having a uniform density and a mass m rests
against a frictionless vertical wall, making angle 48.0° with the
horizontal. The lower end rests on a flat surface where the
coefficient of static friction is µs = 0.370. A window
cleaner with mass M = 2m attempts to climb the
ladder. Given a ladder length of L, what fraction of the
length of the ladder (x / L) will the worker have reached
when the ladder begins to...
