Characteristic effective stabilising action - effective weight of unit soil column passive side of the wall G'k 31.675
Characteristic effective destabilising action - unit seepage force at base of soil column Sk 18.108 [kN/m]
Characterstic total stabilising action - total adhesion between wall and soil column Ca,k 6.750 [kN/m]
Characteristic total stabilising action - total weight at base of column Wk 67.433 [kN/m]
Characteristic total destabilising action - total pore pressure at base of soil column Uk 53.866 [kN/m]
Over design ratio
Against heave - G'd/ Sd = Ck * VG,stb / Sk*VG,dst Gad / Sd 1.17 OK!
Against uplift - (Wd + Ca,d)/ Ud = (Wk*VG,stb + Ca,k*VG,stb )/ U k*YG,dst Ma + Ca,d)/ Ud 1.13 OK!
where YG,stb =0.9, VG,dst = 1.35 for heave, YG,stb =0.9, VG,dst = 1.1 for uplift
