i am doing plate test for a ground which was improved to get the design bearing capacity of 200 kpa.

hi,
My question has two parts:
1- I have abig cantilever 5m slab, so i had to use a diagonal column starting in the bottom of the main column and ending in the middle of the cantiliver, do I have to consider any moment in designing this diagonal member?
2- in case I considered only compression...
