A] General
Platform structure is existing one.
STAAD pro is used for analysis purpose.
Pinned support is assumed. So all forces will be transferred to pedestal through
push pull effect due to wind if any.

Considering geometry it seems that our structure will not face any uplift
hence no tension force in bolts same is proved in next calculation.

Geometric configuration
Node and beam numbers Sectional properties.
B ] Loading
1) Dead load
Self weight command is used in stadd pro.
Grating weight 70kg/Sq.m is applied under dead load condition.

2) Live load
1.5KN/Sq.m live load is considered on platform.
3) Wind load in X- Dir.

4) Wind load in Z- Dir.

C ] Load Combination and Support reaction.
(As structure is small ultimate load factor of 1.5 has been used for
Designing and calculating Bering pressure of pedestal)

Combination 1 :( Dead load + Live load)

Combination 2 :( Dead load + Live load +Wind load in X-Direction)
Combination 3 :( Dead load + Live load +Wind load in Z-Direction)

following is summary of reaction from staad

(STAAD analysis and output file attached at end of this calculation)

(Above table shows no uplift conditions)

Max FX= 0.328 (=SQRT(FX^2+FZ^2)
Max FZ= 0.308 Shear F= 0.450 KN
MAX FY= 1.578

Maximum force for one column( leg of platform)

Vertical force = 1.57KN
Horizontal force = 0.450 KN

On conservative side lets assumed load 4 time as we have four column of platform.
P= 6.28 KN (Total vertical force)
H= 1.8 KN (Total Sliding force)
D ] Combined footing /pad for platform 4-columns.

Using 1530x 1250 x700mm deep foundation pad

P= 6.28 KN
A= 1.9125 Sq.m.(=1.530*1.250)

Max pressure = P/A

=6.28/1.91
3.29 KN/Sq.m its very less Hence very much safe.

Providing min Renif.

( See drawing 210-P8-007-001-RA-001 for more details)

E ] Check for overturning

Overall weight of foundation pad = 1.53*1.25*0.7*24*0.9(reduction factor

28.9 KN
Restoring moment Mr= 28.9*1.25/2
Mr= 18.06 KN-m

Overturning moment= M0=1.8*0.7/2 (horizontal force =H=1.8 KN)

Mo= 0.63 KN-m

Factor of safety for overturning= Mr/Mo

FOS overturn= 28.7 >1.5 Hence very Safe.

F ] Check for Sliding

Assuming Coefficient of friction between soil and concrete= 0.2

(On conservative side)

Resistance force = Fr= 0.2* total wt. of foundation pad

Fr= 0.2*28.9
Fr= 5.78 KN

Sliding force H= Fs= 1.8 KN

Factor of safety for Sliding= Fr/Fs

FOS sliding= 3.2 >1.5 Hence very Safe.
