Calculation Method Take moments about A of soil resistance This will find the location of point x Calculate applied moment about x = M +Hx Calculate resisting moment about x = f(F1 + F2)
Req. kq kc Req. kc pz (kN/m )
Pz(kN) M(kNm)
Kc factor is calculated using Brinch Hansen method. It is a measure of effective cohesion as a function of friction angle and L/B ratio
Required Kc is Kc multiplied by the slope reduction factor. The slope reduction factor takes account of reduced passive resistance due to slope
pz is the point stress witin the layer. This is calculated as: σ.kqreq + C.kcreq
Pz is the point stress witin the layer. This is calculated as: pz . B . Layer thickness
This calculate moment of slice about ground level. This is calculated as: depth (including non effective). Pz
Shear force in pile is the applied force - slice forces above x + slice forces below.
This moment in pile is approximate and assumes the Brinch Hansen force distribution with depth is triangular. See graph to check. Moment at a point is : Applied M + Applied F. leverl arm . (Pzreq at that point * depth/2 * depth/3)
This calculates the reistance moment about x fr each slice and then sums these. The sum is the total resisting moment capacity and is used in calculating the factor of safety.
M above z M below z This is the force Pz acting on each slice. Having determined the location of the point x and entered this into the spread sheet, this automatically chooses whether to place Kq or Kq.req
Excludes reduction factor - ie force Excludes reduction factor - ie force with reduc. fac. away from slope into slope
This is depth below ground level minus that amount not considered to offer resistance. Typically 500mm is assumed to be non-effective
Point stress
This sums the moments . Where the sum of the moments = 0 is the point wher x is.

These three are calculated as previous except slope reduction factor not included. Ie this is for resistance below the point x that is directed into embankment/cutting
kq
Required Kq is Kq multiplied by the slope reduction factor. The slope reduction factor takes account of reduced passive resistance due to slope

Kq factor is calculated using Brinch Hansen method. It is a measure of frictional resistance as a function of friction angle and L/B ratio
Effective stress. This is overburden minus any pore water pressures. Again this excludes the non-effective length
This is depth below ground level minus that amount not considered to offer resistance. Typically 500mm is assumed to be non-effective
