Angle of Shearing Resistance given Bearing Capacity Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Angle of Shearing Resistance = acot(Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion/(Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge-1))
φ = acot(N_c/(N_q-1))
This formula uses 2 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

cot - Cotangent is a trigonometric function that is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side in a right triangle., cot(Angle)
acot - The ACOT function calculates the arccotangent of a given number which is an angle given in radians from 0 (zero) to pi., acot(Number)

Variables Used

Angle of Shearing Resistance - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Shearing Resistance is known as a component of the shear strength of the soils which is basically frictional material and composed of individual particles.
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion - Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion is a constant whose value depends upon the cohesion of soil.
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge - Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge is a constant whose value depends upon surcharge.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion: 9 --> No Conversion Required
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge: 2.01 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

φ = acot(N_c/(N_q-1)) --> acot(9/(2.01-1))
