Since there are 4 support piers then, F2u = 0.61 4 = 2.46 kN Note that F2d is zero since an expansion joint is located immediately downstream of the anchor block. 4. F3 = 2 water htotal

5. F4u

6. F5 = EaT (d + t )t Since the expansion joint is installed between the blocks, F5 =0 7. F6 = 100d = 100 0.13

Expansion Case

Taking sum of moment about point O with clockwise moments as positive: M at O, = 24.20 0.51+2.67 0.82 2.44 0.60 = 13.06 kN-m M 13.06 = 0.60 m = V 21.76 L M = 0.50 0.60 = 0.1 e= 2 V L 1 eallowable = base = = 0.17 6 6 e < eallowable OK

Contraction Case

Taking sum of moment about point O with clockwise moments as positive: M at O, = 24.20 0.51+3.21 0.82 11.96 0.60 = 7.80 kN-m M 7.80 = = 0.64 m V 12.22 L M = 0.50 0.64 = 0.14 e= 2 V L 1 eallowable = base = = 0.17 6 6 e < eallowable OK Since e < eallowable for both cases, the structure is safe against overturning. 2.

In both cases Pbase < Pallowable = 200 kN/m2, the structure is safe against sinking. 3. Checking safety against sliding
1

Expansion Case

H < V = 0.5 for concrete/masonry on soil

2.67 kN < 0.5 21.76 kN 2.67 kN < 10.88 kN OK

2

Contraction Case

H < V = 0.5 for concrete/masonry on soil

3.21 kN < 0.5 12.22 kN 3.21 kN < 6.11 kN OK Since, H < V in both cases the structure is safe against sliding. The anchor block is stable.
