Angle of Shearing Resistance given Weight of Wedge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Angle of Shearing Resistance = atan((Weight of Wedge in Kilonewton*4)/(Unit Weight of Soil*(Width of Footing)^2))
φ = atan((W_we*4)/(γ*(B)^2))
This formula uses 2 Functions, 4 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 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.
Weight of Wedge in Kilonewton - (Measured in Newton) - Weight of Wedge in Kilonewton is defined as the weight of total soil which is in the form of wedge in terms of Kilonewton.
Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Soil mass is the ratio of the total weight of soil to the total volume of soil.
Width of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Footing is the shorter dimension of the footing.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Wedge in Kilonewton: 138.09 Kilonewton --> 138090 Newton (Check conversion here)
Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Width of Footing: 2 Meter --> 2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

φ = atan((W_we*4)/(γ*(B)^2)) --> atan((138090*4)/(18000*(2)^2))

Evaluating ... ...

φ = 1.44117737915852

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.44117737915852 Radian -->82.573381355524 Degree (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

82.573381355524 ≈ 82.57338 Degree <-- Angle of Shearing Resistance
