Checking: 6(442.6 � 382.0 � 321.3 �260.7 � 200.0 � 139.3) � 10475 kN, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

calculation is thus correct.<br />

Example 6.7<br />

A tower is to be constructed on a site where 6 m of very soft clay overlie a very stiff glacial<br />

clay (undrained shearing strength � 190 kN/m2 ). The tower <strong>and</strong> its base slab weigh 30000 kN,<br />
