since the maximum reaction occurs at load case 91. hence to check the bearing capacity,
reaction at load case 91 at different nodes are considered
Hence Safe
2. Stability Check For Washed Away Conditions (check against sliding)
when the box is on the verge of sliding, active earth pressure will generated on one side
and the pasive earth pressure will generated on another side
2
for 30 0 and 20 0

from equation (1), passive pressure can calculate considering half height of the culvert
cos 2 ( )
Kp 2
sin( )sin (1)
cos 1 -
cos
0.35 kN/m2 4 3
as per the codal provision 50% of the passive forces haas to be considered
Therefore
Multiplying coeff. = 0.5
Factor of safety = 0.5 x 544.75 / 108.28 = 2.515
> 1.5, Safe
