(10 pts) A 10-m high retaining wall is shown in the Figure. a. Determine the active thrust on the wall due to soil and water. b. Determine the active thrust on the wall due to soil only (dry soil). Determine the increase in force on the wall if the soil is fully saturated with rainwater. c. GS = 2.65 e = 0.5 w = 10% $ = 20° Ka = (1-sin)/(1+sin) 10 m
