What will be the increase in horizontal thrust, Civil Engineering

Assignment Help:

A 9 metre high retaining wall retains a soil with the following properties: φ = 36°; γ = 18 kN/m³.

What will be the enhance in horizontal thrust if the soil slopes up from the top of the wall at an angle of 36° to the horizontal than when it has a horizontal surface?
