Average Unit Weight of Soil given Safe Bearing Capacity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Average Unit Weight = (Safe Bearing Capacity-Net Safe Bearing Capacity in Soil)/Depth of Footing in Soil
γ_avg = (q_sa-q_nsa)/D_footing
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Average Unit Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Average Unit Weight is the average of the values of unit weight that we get from different test cases.
Safe Bearing Capacity - (Measured in Pascal) - Safe Bearing Capacity is the maximum pressure which the soil can carry safely without risk of shear failure.
Net Safe Bearing Capacity in Soil - (Measured in Pascal) - Net Safe Bearing Capacity in Soil is the net ultimate bearing capacity divided by factor of safety.
Depth of Footing in Soil - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Footing in Soil is the longer dimension of the footing in soil mechanics.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Safe Bearing Capacity: 36.34 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 36340 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Net Safe Bearing Capacity in Soil: 15.89 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 15890 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Depth of Footing in Soil: 2.54 Meter --> 2.54 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_avg = (q_sa-q_nsa)/D_footing --> (36340-15890)/2.54

Evaluating ... ...

γ_avg = 8051.1811023622

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

8051.1811023622 Newton per Cubic Meter -->8.05118110236221 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

8.05118110236221 ≈ 8.051181 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Average Unit Weight
