shear stress value smaller than 0.1 N/mm2, hence ok

Base Design Trying a 150mm into 1005mm base Base should be sufficient enough to accommodate overturnng The resultant eccentricity should be minimum and should lie with in centre one third of foundation The base should be thick enough so that concrete only caters for shear and base flexure stresses
