Factor of Safety, Mr / Mo = 2.42 > 1.50 OK

SLIDING (using overall factor of safety instead of partial safety factor) F.O.S = 1.50

Sum of LATERAL FORCES, P = 19.20 kN

PASSIVE FORCE, Pp x Reduction factor (1) = 0.00 kN Red'n factor for passive force = 1.00
BASE FRICTION ( V TANb + B Cb ) = -42.87 kN
Sum of FORCES RESISTING SLIDING, Pr = -42.87 kN

Factor of Safety, Pr / P = 2.23 > 1.50 OK

GROUND BEARING FAILURE

Taking moments about centre of base (anticlockwise "+") :

Vertical FORCES (kN) Lever arm (m) Moment (kNm) BEARING PRESSURE (KN/m)
0.00 1.10
Wall = 6.72 0.45 3.02 0
Base = 5.28 0.00 0.00
Nib = 0.00 -0.45 0.00
Earth = 25.20 -0.10 -2.52 50
Water = 0.00 -0.10 0.00
Surcharge= 18.00 -0.10 -1.80
Line load = 0.00 0.35 0.00 100
V = 55.20 Mv = -1.30

Moment due to LATERAL FORCES, Mo = 13.08 kNm 150

Resultant Moment, M = Mv + Mo = 11.79 kNm

Eccentricity from base centre, M / V = 0.21 m

Therefore, MAXIMUM Gross Bearing Pressure (GRP) = 109 kN/m < 200 OK
