Set B (verification of concrete structural elements of foundations)
1.0·Gk + 1.5·Qk,w
1.35·Gk + 1.5· Fk,w + 0.75·Qk,n + 1.05·Qk,es
1.35·Gk + 1.5·Qk,n + 1.05·Qk,es + 0.9·Fk,w
1.35·Gk + 1.5·Qk,es + 0.75·Qk,n + 0.9·Fk,w
Approach 2
The same combinations used for the superstructure (i.e. Set B) are used.
Approach 3
Factors from Set C for geotechnical actions and from Set B for other actions are used in one
calculation. This case, as geotechnical actions are not present, can be referred to Set B, i.e. to
approach 2.

EQU - (static equilibrium of rigid body: verification of global stability to heave and sliding) (Set A)
Only that part of the embankment beyond the foundation footing is considered for the
verification of global stability to heave and sliding (Fig. 2.9).
