What is the factored load for overturning?

Solution

When we use the combinations from the ASCE 7, particularly the 0.6D+W, for footing design, we use factored load of 1.5 for overturning, uplift and shear. For instance, if I use 0.6D+W and find my uplift or lateral load, my factor load need to be 1.5.

answer : - 1.5 is the factored load for overturning.
