The Distance of C.G of all the vertical forces from the edge
of the Pile 0.83 ft.
The Resultant R will intersect the base at "x" when, x = 1.18 ft beyond 0.83 ft.
That is at 2.02 ft from the edge of the Pile
For R over turn the wall is = 31406 lbs
Factor of Safety, FS = 0.71 Which is ample
2) Checking Pressure on Foundation
Column+Bricks Wall+GB+Pile Weight = 40.75 Kip

The Resultant R will intersect the base at "x" when, x = 0.83 ft beyond 2.51 ft.
That is at 3.34 ft from the edge of the heel
For R over turn the wall is =8157.51 lbs
Factor of Safety, FS = 4.22 Which is ample
2) Checking Pressure on Foundation
The resultant cuts base at 3.34 ft, i,e. the ecentricity is = 0.34 ft.
Which is greater than 1 ft
The Max pressure on toe = 1.73882 ksf, which is less than or = 2 ksf
So the design is safe
The minimum pressure at the heel = 859.529 psf tension.
