minimum of 1.1 calculated taking ground water at existing grade ."

Consider Chamber Floatation

Depth of Roof Top below Grade = 0m

Thickness of Roof Slab = 0m
Internal Depth or Depth Below Grade = 2.775 m
Internal Length = 4.3 m
Internal Width = 3.2 m
Base Thickness = 0.7 m
Wall Thickness = 0.4 m

External Volume = 70.89 m3

Internal Volume = 38.18 m3
Concrete volume = 32.71 m3

Concrete Density 24 kN/m3

Chamber Self Weight = 784.9 kN

Floatation Force = 708.9 kN

FoS = 1.11

Floatation FoS is satisfactory
