For Overturning checks

Overturning momentts
RHS moments due to Earth pressure+Live load surcharge
= 10.102 + 6.674
= 16.776 T-m
LHS moments due to Earth pressure+Live load surcharge
= 0.488 + 0.885
= 1.373 T-m
Condition 1 Net Overturning moment = 15.403 T-m (RHS-LHS)

Condition 2 Net Overturning moment = 16.776 T-m

Restoring Moments = Only self Weight induced moment + Restoring moment due to earth on projection+wt. due to LL surcharge+vertical EP
