Evaluation of Overturning Analysis for Concrete Structures on Rock Foundations

Abstract

This report includes a discussion of the present method of overturning analysis and a discussion of the underlying assumptions; the contact stresses under the base of the structures; and the effects of strain compatibility, compaction-induced lateral stresses, and wall friction on the driving and resisting moments. Recommendations are made for modifications to the present method of analysis, and areas for future studies where additional improvements could be made are discussed.
