Floatation calculation - To determine whether the uplift force is sufficient or not

' = 18.5
f = 30
CBP dia = 0.9
c/c spacing = 1.5

For 1 m run of structure,


Uplift force, U = w (kN/m3) x ht (m) x B (m)
= 10 x 4x 6.7
= 268 kN/m

Restraining force = 'B(H-1.5)/f1 + (+H-2)2S/m1 + W/f2


S = x K0 x 'x ht x tan f
= 4.9074773 kN/m2
2Sht = 39.259818 kN/m

W =
