A long boundary wall 2.7m high and 0.4m thick is constructed of brickwork weighing 18KN/m3. If the maximum wind pressure is uniformly distributed over the whole height of the wall is 500N/m2, calculate the factor of safety against overturning neglecting any small adhesive strength between the brickwork and its base. 1- Calculate the wind pressure in Figure 6. Unit KPa/m with two decimal. 2- Calculate the restoring moment in Figure 6. Unit KN*m/m with two decimal. 3- Calculate the overturning moment in Figure 6. Unit: KN*m/m with two decimal
