Check for Sliding : The check for sliding is carried out for pad foundations only.

If there is no horizontal force acting on foundation check for sliding is not required.

Resultant Force on foundation:

Hd = [(Fx,sup)2 + (Fy,sup)2]0.5

Resultant Force Angle Hd = tan-1 [(Fy,sup / Fx,sup)]

where

Fx,sup = horizontal force acting on support in X-dir. (from analysis)

Fy,sup = horizontal force acting on support in Y-dir. (from analysis)

Resistance to sliding due to base friction:

Hfriction = [-P + Fswt] * tan , where

= design base friction user input

Passive pressure coefficient:

Kp = (1+sin) / (1-sin), where

= design shear strength of soil user input

Passive resistance of soil in X direction:

Hxpas = 0.5*Kp*(h2 +2*h*hsoil)*Lx* soil

Passive resistance of soil in Y direction:

Hypas = 0.5*Kp*(h2 +2*h*hsoil)*Ly* soil

Resultant Passive Resistance:

Hres,pas = abs(Hxpas*cos Hd) + abs(Hypas*sin Hd)

Total resistance to sliding:

RH.d = (Hfriction + Hres,pas) / 1.5

If

RH.d Hd
