Find the total active earth pressure against the wall

Reference no: EM13317899

A vertical wall 6.0 m high supports a cohesionless backfill with a horizontal surface. The backfill soil's unit weight and angle of internal friction are 17.2 kN/cubic meter and 31 degrees respectively and the angle of wall friction friction between backfill and wall is 20 degrees. Find the total active earth pressure against the wall.
