Consider the following statements:
- Uniform surcharge increases active earth pressure even as it decreases passive resistance.
- The good yield of a retaining wall to reach equilibrium in the active case is less than for the passive case.
- The active pressure caused by a cohesionless backfill on a smooth vertical retaining wall may be reduced by compacting the backfill
