AM Problem #19- Geotech 6 minute solutions

[Road Guy]

If anyone can do that problem in 6 minutes I will storm the governors mansion in your state and hold them all hostage until they give you an honary PE License :lol:

The "solution" is about 2 pages long.....

Actually, it's not that bad. The solution is long because each resultant is broken down individually. Once you get the basics of retaining walls down, you could probably do it in 6 minutes.

With a 2-layer retaining wall, I find it easier to quickly draw a pressure diagram with resultant forces. The equations and overturning moments are easier to management and crunching the numbers is faster.

Hey Brimstone, I think Roadguy needs directions to your state's capital

 

[Road Guy]

Just a few states over to the west from you in Mississippi. So I can expect you sometime tomorrow?
