surcharge on retaining wall

Hi guys

Please to the attached image. The surcharge load can be calculate using Boussinesq's method, however the theory does not apply due to the proximity of the lo to the wall.

Is it possible to model the soil as an Isotropic material with appropriate mechanical properties to simulate the soil profile?

Thanks in advance
