Hello All,
I am sorry for posting this question as a follow-up thread. This is the only active thread that I see. As you know, the exam is next week. trying to get a response.
This is related to Geotech AM Question in the NCEES Practice book Problem No. 116. This is a retaining wall problem. What I don't follow is that, for the triangle part of the retaining wall, the moment arm length is indicated to be 2/3. But I think it should be 2/3 of the length (or the base of the traingle). so, it should be 2/3 (2ft) equal to 4/3.
can someone clarify?
Thanks.
