Reference Calculations Output
Introducing heel beam

Heel Depth = 0.6 m

Heel Width = 0.3 m

Passive Pressure = 39.96 kN/m2

Hp = 11.99 kN

Hk = 37.27 kN

Vertical Loads increased by the weight of soil + heel beam

= 0.6x(18x1.5+24x0.3)
= 20.52 kN

µ = tan(∅)
= 0.70
Frictional Resisting Force = 59.88 kN S.F. Sliding
Sliding Force = 37.27 kN 1.6
Safety Factor = 1.6

Overturning

Taking moment at the edge of toe ignoring the heel beam

2 2
Overturning moment = (0.5Pa h /3+Ps h /2)
= (0.5x15.07x3.1^2/3 + 2.7x3.1^2/2)
= 37.11 kNm
S.F. Overturning
Restraining moment = 64.25 kNm 1.7
Factor of Safety = 1.7

Bearing Pressure

P = (N/D)+(6M/D2)

M - Moment about the base centerline

N - Total vertical loads
D - Width of Foundation

M = 15.98 kNm

Therefore P = (47.9/1.8)+(6x15.98/1.8^2)
= 56.2 kN/m2 BEARING
