    This document contains instructions and two situational problems for a final examination in foundation engineering. Situational Problem 1 involves calculating values for a cantilever retaining wall, including active pressure, righting and overturning moments, location of vertical force, and factors of safety. Situational Problem 2 involves calculating values for a continuous wall supported by three rows of piles, including the centroid and load distribution of a typical pile group. Students are instructed to show their work and solutions for full credit.

    Examination No.3 / Final Examination

    Instructions. Solve the following situational problems. Write your final


    answer in the first page of your answer sheet. Solution to each problem should
    start in the second page. No credit for a correct answer without a correct solution.
    One point each per problem.

    Situational Problem No. 1

    A cantilever retaining wall with cross section shown in Figure 1 is to retain a mass of soil
    having a unit weight of 16 kN/m3 and a surcharge pressure intensity of 20000 Pa. If the
    wall is to rest on a soil having a bearing capacity of 240 kPa and an angle of internal
    friction 330 40”, µ = 0.45, ɣc = 2400 kg/ m3, 𝛽 = 0, determine the following

    1. the value of the active pressure in kN;


    2. the value of the righting moment in kN m;
    3. the value of the overturning moment in kN m;
    4. the location of the net vertical force (pressure) at the base from the toe in m;
    5. the factor of safety against overturning, is it safe ?;
    6. the factor of safety against sliding, is it safe ?;
    7. the distance of the net vertical force (pressure) at the base referred from the
    base centerline in meter, if any;
    8. the minimum value of the soil pressure developed at the base in kPa;
    9. the maximum value of the soil pressure developed at the base in kPa;

    Note: For the righting moment, the soil in the toe side need not be neglected. Only when
    computing overturning moment it is to be neglected.

    Situation Problem No.2

    A continuous wall is supported on three rows of piles spaced 90 cm on center. The


    longitudinal pile spacing is 90 cm in the 1st and 2nd rows and 180 cm in the 3rd row. A
    resultant vertical load on the wall amounts to 150kN/m of the wall and coincides with the
    2nd row piles.

    (Hint: Analyze one typical pile group to solve the following questions below).
