Introducing heel beam

Heel Depth = 0.5 m

Heel Width = 0.2 m

Passive Pressure = 33.3 kN/m2

Hp = 8.33 kN

Hk = 22.69 kN

Vertical Loads increased by the weight of soil + heel beam

= 0.5x(18x1.1+24x0.2)
= 12.3 kN

µ = tan(∅)
= 0.70
Frictional Resisting Force = 38.01 kN S.F. Sliding
Sliding Force = 22.69 kN 1.7
Safety Factor = 1.7

Overturning

Taking moment at the edge of toe ignoring the heel beam

Overturning moment = (0.5Pah2/3+Psh2/2)

= (0.5x10.94x2.25^2/3 + 2.7x2.25^2/2)
= 16.07 kNm
S.F. Overturning
Restraining moment = 29.07 kNm 1.8
Factor of Safety = 1.8

Bearing Pressure

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

M - Moment about the base centerline

N - Total vertical loads
D - Width of Foundation

M = 6.57 kNm

Therefore P = (30.1/1.3)+(6x6.57/1.3^2)
= 46.48 kN/m2 BEARING
