b) Check for Sliding

Total Horizontal force H = 49.6 kN
Restoring force = m x SW = 0.5 x 91.128 Hr = 45.56 kN
Factor Safety = Hr/H = 45.564/49.6 = 0.91 < 1.5 Not Safe!!

c) Check for Bearing pressure

C.g of Load x = (Mro-Mo)/P = 0.674
eccentricity e = B/2 - x = 0.331
fbmax = P/A(1 + 6.e/B) = 90.21 kPa < 500 kPa

Diametre of the bar used db = 12 mm
Clear cover to the main bar c = 50 mm

Design moment Mu = 1.6.M Mu = 72 kNm
Rmz = Mu/(bd2) = 0.575 N/mm2
% steel r = f .fc 1 - 1 - 2.Rmz = 0.0015 < 0.0018

Spacing of 12 dia bar s = 177.5 mm
Provide F 12 @ 175c/c
Check for shear

Total shear at root V= ka.gs.he2/2 + ka.q.he = 39 kN
Design shear stress vu = 1.6 V/(bd) = 0.176 N/mm2
All. shear stress vc = f. fc / 6 = 0.822 N/mm2 Safe!!
