A cantilever retaining wall has been backfilled with a borrowsoil which has a unit weigth ϒ= 18 kN/m3 and a friction angle Θ =30°.

Assuming that the other following input parameters areprovided:
Friction coefficient μ = 0.35; Maximum bearing capacity = 500kPa.
RCD4701/101/0/2020

13
Live Load w = 5 kN/m2; Point Load = 100 kN.
Fcu = 25 MPa; Fy = 450 MPa.
Check the stability of the wall and provide the reinforcement forthe retaining structure
