EQUILIBRIUM CALCULATIONS AT SLS

All forces/moments are per m width

1.Moment Equilibrium

Point of rotation: bottom front corner of base.

For Overturning moment Mo calculate as follows:

Mo = Sum(hor. forces x l.a.) - Sum(vert. forces x l.a.)
For Stabilizing moment Mr calculate as follows:
Mr = -Sum(hor. forces x l.a.) + Sum(vert. forces x l.a.)
where l.a. = lever arm of each force.

Stabilizing moment Mr : 34.22 kNm

Destabilizing moment Mo : 10.70 kNm

Safety factor against overturning = Mr/Mo = 3.197

2.Force Equilibrium at SLS

Sum of Vertical forces Pv : 36.21 kN

Frictional resistance Pfric : 15.21 kN
Passive Pressure on shear key : 0.00 kN
Passive pressure on base : 13.60 kN
=> Total Horiz. resistance Fr : 28.81 kN

Horizontal sliding force on wall Fhw : 17.96 kN

Horizontal sliding force on shear key Fht : 0.00 kN
=> Total Horizontal sliding force Fh : 17.96 kN

Safety factor against overall sliding = Fr/Fh = 1.604
