14831 A soil 14831
mass is retained on a smooth14831
14831 backed vertical wall of 6.0 14831
14831 m height. The 14831
soil has a 14831
bulk unit weight of 20 kN/m2 and  = 16°. The top of the soil is level with top of the wall
and horizontal. If the soil surface carries a uniformly distributed load of 4.5 kN/m2,
determine the total active thrust on wall per meter of wall and its point of application.
