Generally, if the weight of the structure is the primary force resisting flotation, then a safety factor of 1.0 is adequate. If, however,
friction and/or cohesion are the primary forces resisting flotation, then a higher safety factor would be in order to account for the
variability of the soil properties.
The calculated safety factor is < the required factor of 2.0 stated at the beginning of the
problem. Therefore, try an extended base with a 12 in. extension (lip) around the entire
diameter as in Fig. 5 below.
