Overturning Example :
clause 20.1 IS 456
Live Load = 5 kN/m2
Slab Thickness = 150 mm
Concrete unit Weight = 25 kN/m3
Beam cross section 300 x 600 mm
Column cross 300 x 300
section
Note : unit width of
slab is considered.
Entire structure will rotate about point G towards the left direction due to
cantilever formed by B1, B3 and C3.
Overturning Moment components :
Live Load Ll1 and LL3
Dead load B1, B3 and C3 (including slab corresponding to B1 and B3)
Restoring Moment components :
Live Load Ll2 and LL4
Dead load B2, B4, C1, C4, C5 and C2 (including slab corresponding to B1 and
B3)
Weight of each column = 25 x o.3 x o.3 x 4 = 9 kN
Weight of each beam + slab = 25 x 0.3 x 0.6 x 3 + 25 x 1 x o.15 x 3 = 24.75 kN
Live Load = 5 x 1 x 3 = 15 kN

Overturning Unstable
Sliding Example :
clause 20.2 IS 456
Concrete unit Weight = 25 kN/m3
Soil density = 19 kN/m3
Coed of friction between concrete and soil = o.45
Coefficient of active pressure = o.3
Note : unit width of retaining structure is considered.
Sliding force calculation :
Earth pressure at base = 19 x ( 3 + 0.5 ) = 66.5 kN/m
Total Earth pressure force = 0.5 x 66.5 x ( 3 + 0.5 ) = 116. 375 kN
Resisting Force calculation:
Total dead weight of the structure = 25 x ( 3x0.5 + 0.5x3 ) = 75 kN
Total soil weight above base slab at back side = 19 x 3 x1 = 57 KN
Total resisting force = 0.9 x 0.45 x ( 75 + 57 ) = 53.46 kN
Resisting force should be at least 1.4 times sliding force.
Resisting force / sliding force = 53.46/116.375 = 0.45 < 1.4 Sliding unstable

Explanation Clause 22.2 IS 456
Structurepedia
d is effective depth of beam
'
Effective span = minimum ( L+d, L+B)
For example, Beam supported over wall of width 230mm and has
effective depth of 450mm. Clear span of beam is 10m. Effective span ?
Effective span = minimum (10+0.45, 10+0.23/2+0.23/2) = 10.23m
Explanation Clause 22.2b IS 456 :
Effective span of continuous beam
B < L/12, Follow
22.1a, simply
supported
B < min(L/12,600)
Effective span = L
B < min(L/12,600)
