A $5\: m$ high vertical wall has a saturated clay backfill. The saturated unit weight and cohesion of clay are $18\: kN/m^3$ and $20\: kPa$, respectively. The angle of internal friction of clay is zero. In order to prevent development of tension zone, the ... tension zone, the minimum height (in $m$, round off to one decimal place) by which the wall has to be raised, is ________.
