I need a little guidance as to how to design a 12' cut on
shale with an RQD 7 and below 10' RQD is 45
I cant find to much literature as to designing retaining walls on rock
or shale.
Do I just assign a high Phi value like 45 to shale and a unit weight of 140 PCF
to make it work and find a Kp and Ka?
