FS for sliding
FS for sliding
(OP)
I am working with an agency that has required 2.0 FS for sliding on a spillway training wall. USACE typically requires 1.5. Overturning FS is also 1.5 Any idea why it should be higher? Footing will be keyed into rock, so sliding is very unlikely anyway.

Good Luck

Main reason for saying all that is that the the agency's and COE's loading conditions may be different.
