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...

3. You are working in a temperate rainforest that has small patches of sandy soil spread throughout the area. This soil has a unique chemistry, different from the soil of the neighboring clay-rich areas of the forest, and results in a different composition of plants. In particular, you notice one shrub that occurs only on the small sandy patches. Briefly describe three factors that you hypothesize may explain the patchy distribution of the shrub. How would you determine the sexual...
