For Overturning checks

Overturning momentts
RHS moments due to Earth pressure+Live load surcharge

= 29.334 T-m
LHS moments due to Earth pressure+Live load surcharge

= 1.425 T-m
Condition 1 Net Overturning moment = 27.909 T-m (RHS-LHS)

Condition 2 Net Overturning moment = 29.334 T-m

Restoring Moments = Only self Weight induced moment + Restoring moment due to earth on projection+wt. due to LL surcharge+vertical EP
