Cantilever Wall
Verification - factor of safety
After computing forces acting on the structure the program determines the overall vertical and horizontal forces Fv and Fh, computes the forces acting in the footing bottom (normal force N and tangent force T):
Forces acting on the footing bottom
Next the program performs verification for overturning stability and translation. For walls with a flat footing bottom and specified jump it is possible to account for the wall jump either in the form of pressure acting on the front face or by considering a wall with an inclined footing bottom.
Check for overturning stability: (the moment rotates around the point B of the wall - see picture)
| where: | Movr | - | overturning moment |
| Mres | - | resisting moment | |
| FS | - | factor of safety against overturning |
Check for slip:
| where: | N | - | normal force acting in the footing bottom |
| φ | - | angle of friction structure of soil | |
| c | - | cohesion structure-soil | |
| d | - | width of wall heel | |
| e | - | eccentricity | |
| Τ | - | coefficient of overall stability of structure | |
| FS | - | factor of safety against translation |
where eccentricity e:
| where: | Movr | - | overturning moment |
| Mres | - | resisting moment | |
| N | - | normal force acting in the footing bottom | |
| d | - | width of wall heel |
The "Settings" frame serves to assign the factors of safety FS (standard values are set to 1,5).
