Study Notes
Cantilever Retaining Wall
- The cantilever retaining wall has a height of 6 meters.
- The active pressure on the wall varies from zero at the top to 35 kN/m at the bottom.
- The modulus of elasticity (E) is constant throughout the wall.
- The problem requires the computation of the maximum shear force in the wall.
Retaining Wall Characteristics
- The retaining wall is a 6 m cantilever wall.
- The active pressure on the wall varies along its height.
- The active pressure is zero at the top of the wall.
- The active pressure is 35 kN/m at the bottom of the wall.
- The modulus of elasticity (E) is assumed to be constant.
Problem Objective
- Compute the maximum shear in the 6 m cantilever retaining wall.
