Total Overturning Moment Mo = 2317.9 kNm

Total Restoring Moment Mro = 5831.1 kNm
Factor of Safety = Mro/Mo = 5831.1 / 2317.9 = 2.51 > 1.5 Safe !!

b) Check for Sliding

Total Horizontal force H = 526.7 kN
Restoring force = m x SW = 0.5 x 1404.9 Hr = 702.5 kN
Factor Safety = Hr/H = 702.45/526.7 = 1.33 < 1.5 Not Safe!!

Hence Provide shear Key

c) Check for Bearing pressure

C.g of Load x = (Mro-Mo)/P = 2.501
eccentricity e = B/2 - x = 0.999
fbmax = P/A(1 + 6.e/B) = 372.6 kPa < 500 kPa
fbmin = P/A(1 - 6.e/B) = 28.78 kPa > 0

Assumption
i) Shear key is exactly placed below the stem/wall
ii) 2/3rd of SBC on the soil to resist the shear
Allowable passive pressure = 333.3 kPa
Hence depth of the key = 0.261 m
0.5 m
