Forces on foundation per linear meter
Force in z-axis; Fdz = D A (Fswt + Fsoil + FDsur) + D FDz1 = 42.6 kN
Moments on foundation per linear meter
Moment in y-axis, about y is 0; Mdy = D (A (Fswt + Fsoil + FDsur) Ly / 2) + D (FDz1 y1) = 14.9 kNm
Uplift verification
Vertical force; Fdz = 42.6 kN
PASS - Foundation is not subject to uplift
Stability against sliding
Resistance due to base friction; FRFriction = max(Fdz, 0 kN) tan(bb) = 24.6 kN

Bearing resistance
Eccentricity of base reaction
Eccentricity of base reaction in y-axis; edy = Mdy / Fdz - Ly / 2 = 0 mm
Strip base pressures
q1 = Fdz (1 - 6 edy / Ly) / (Ly 1000 mm) = 60.9 kN/m2
q2 = Fdz (1 + 6 edy / Ly) / (Ly 1000 mm) = 60.9 kN/m2
Minimum base pressure; qmin = min(q1,q2) = 60.9 kN/m2
Maximum base pressure; qmax = max(q1,q2) = 60.9 kN/m2
Allowable bearing capacity
Allowable bearing capacity; qallow = qallow_Net + (h + hsoil) soil = 80.8 kN/m2
qmax / qallow = 0.753
PASS - Allowable bearing capacity exceeds design base pressure
