( b ) A vertical sheet pile wall as shown in Figure Q.1 ( b ) is designed to retain two layers of soil as shown . Using the Rankine's lateral earth pressure theory , determine the total horizontal thrust in kN per unit length of the wall and the location of the thrust from the bottom of the wall .

 

(b) A vertical sheet pile wall as shown in Figure Q.1(b) is designed to retain two layers [of soil as shown. Using the Rankine's lateral earth pressure theory, determine the total horizontal thrust in \( \mathrm{kN} \) per unit length of the wall and the location of the thrust from the bottom of the wall.
