 Structural Stability Check

OVER TURNING CHECK

• Overturning moment (Mo) = 36203 K-ft
• Stabilizing Moment (Ms) = 81743 K-ft

F.O.S = 2.25 >2 OK

 Structural Stability Check

SLIDING CHECK
• Sliding Force = 534 K
• Resisting Force = 1257 K

F.O.S = 2.35 >1.5 ok

 Structural Stability Check
BEARING PRESSURE CHECK
• Effective allowable bearing capacity =
qeffective = 1.3 TSF = 1.3 x 2.204 = 2.865ksf
• Raft is modeled in SAFE for checking
relatively accurate bearing pressure.
• Enveloped Bearing Pressure = q =2.521 ksf

2.865 > 2.521 0k
