A12-ft tall concrete wall with a vertical back is to be backfilled with a clayey sand that has a unit weight of 126 pcf, an effective cohesion of 500 psf, and an effective angle of 30 degrees. the ground behind the wall will be inclined at a slope of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical. compute the normal (e.g., horizontal) and shear (e.g., vertical) forces acting on the back of the wall. assume the wall moves sufficiently to develop the active conditions in the soil.
