Stability

The document analyzes the external stability of a basement wall according to BS 8110:2005. It details assumptions made, unfactored loads and forces on the wall, and checks for ground bearing failure and sliding at the base. The check for sliding at the base fails but the factor of safety is less than the required 1.5.

EXTERNAL STABILITY STABILITY CHECK : OK

ANALYSIS - Assumptions & Notes

1) Wall idealised as a propped cantilever ( i.e. pinned at top and fixed at base )
2) Wall is braced.
3) Maximum slenderness of wall is limited to 15, i.e [ 0.9*(He-Tb/2)/Tw < 15 ]
4) Maximum Ultimate axial load on wall is limited to 0.1fcu times the wall cross-sectional area
5) Design Span (Effective wall height) = He - (Tb/2)
6) -ve moment is hogging ( i.e. tension at external face of wall )
+ve moment is sagging ( i.e. tension at internal face of wall )
7) " Wall MT. " is maximum +ve moment on the wall.
8) Estimated lateral deflections are used for checking the P effect .

MOMENT due to LATERAL FORCES, Mo = -18.11 kNm

RESULTANT MOMENT, M = Mv + Mo = 165.24 kNm

ECCENTRICITY FROM BASE CENTRE, M / V = 0.96 m


MAXIMUM GROSS BEARING PRESSURE = 145.34 kN/m 2 < 150 OK

SLIDING AT BASE (using overall factor of safety instead of partial safety fa F.O.S = 1.50

SUM of LATERAL FORCES, P = 46.61 kN


BASE FRICTION, Fb = - ( V TANb + B.Cb ) = -62.48 kN

Factor of Safety, Fb / P = 1.34 < 1.50 FAIL .. but

therefore, LATERAL RESISTANCE to be provided by BASEMENT SLAB = 7.43 kN
