Soil Friction/Sliding and effect of Soil Pressure?
Soil Friction/Sliding and effect of Soil Pressure?
(OP)
I am considering a mass conc. pad foundation for a small framed open sided building (designed as freestanding walls/canopy roof). Wind dictates the design and therefore there are quite large horizontal shear values at the supports.
I am taking a friction (μ) value of 0.3, and the base is struggling in sliding. Can I take into account the weight of soil pressure on the foundation as resisting the sliding?
