Angle of Internal Friction given Bearing Capacity by Vesic's Analysis Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Angle of Internal Friction = atan(Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight/(2*(Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge+1)))
φ = atan(N_γ/(2*(N_q+1)))
This formula uses 2 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

tan - The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle., tan(Angle)
atan - Inverse tan is used to calculate the angle by applying the tangent ratio of the angle, which is the opposite side divided by the adjacent side of the right triangle., atan(Number)

Variables Used

Angle of Internal Friction - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Internal Friction is a measure of the shear strength of soils and other granular materials. It represents the angle at which material can resist sliding.
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight - Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight is a component in the calculation of the bearing capacity of soils. It is part of the general bearing capacity equation.
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge - Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge is a parameter to determine the bearing capacity of shallow foundations subjected to surcharge loads.
