Total Structure Weight, Ws= w1+w2+w3+w4+w5 = 1078.8 KN

Allows 90% of structural weight to be counted for resisting buoyancy.

Therefore structural weight, f1= 0.9Ws f1 = 970.9 KN

Backfill

Weight, Wb= (GL-RTL)*Ysat = 1000.192 KN

Taking 90% as resisting weight f2 = 900.17 KN

Summary

Uplift Force, Fu = 1604.39 KN

Required factor of safety on uplift for permanent condition = 1.10

Therefore total downward force required to resist uplift is =1.1Fu = 1764.83 KN

Available resistance to uplift Fr =f1+f2 = 1871.05 KN

Therefore, OK

FOS =Fr/Fu = 1.17 ok
