Stability Check

The document provides calculations to check the stability of a compound wall for a raw water reservoir. It calculates the overturning and resisting moments based on the wall dimensions, soil properties, and loads. It then calculates safety factors against sliding and overturning. Both safety factors are above the required 1.2, indicating the wall design is stable under the given load conditions. It also checks that the calculated eccentricity is less than the allowable eccentricity.

Taking Moment about B


Total Overturning Moment ΣMO = 1.08 KN.M

Total Resisting Moment ΣMR = 1.39 KN.M


Net Moment = (ΣMR-ΣMO) ΣM = 0.31 KN.M
Factor of safety against Sliding = (µXΣW)/PH FS = 1.71 >1.2 Hence Safe
Factor of safety against Overturning = ΣMR/ΣMO FO = 1.29 >1.2 Hence Safe

Distance of CG from B = ΣM/ΣW X' = 0.03 m

Eccentricity = (B2/2)-X' e = 0.084 m


Allowable Eccentricity = B2/6 ea = 0.038 m Safe

Base pressure ΣW/Area = 43.78 KN/m 2
