B. Sliding Stability

Groundwater table lessen the weight induce by the structure and the soil above the foundation, thus, the resistance against sliding is lessen.
Therefore it is important to consider the effect given by the GWT in checking the stability of the structure due to sliding.

C. Uplift Stability

Due to the presence of groundwater table its gives uplift force to the structure, thus, it should be investigate if the ratio between the
weight of the deadload above the soil where the footing is laid out and the force given by the GWT is greater than the factor of safety
considering uplift force. Otherwise, the footing will experience instabilty due to the uplift force of GWT.

D. Overturning Stability

Groundwater table lessen the weight induce by the structure and the soil above the foundation, thus, the resistance against overturning
is lessen also. Therefore, it is vital to consider the effect of bouyant force cause by GWT in checking the stability against overturning.

E. Base Pressure Stability

Groundwater table has the ability to exert bouyant force to the structure,thus it can lessen the effect given by the weight of the structure and soil
above it. Thus, considering the critical condition, the GWT should not be considered because it can reduce the effect cause by the base pressure.
