STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Ultimate Bearing Capacity in Soil: 127.8 Kilopascal --> 127.8 Kilonewton per Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal: 1.27 Kilopascal --> 1.27 Kilonewton per Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion: 9 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Width of Footing: 2 Meter --> 2 Meter No Conversion Required
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight: 1.6 --> No Conversion Required
Depth of Footing in Soil: 2.54 Meter --> 2.54 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

N_q = (q_fc-((C*N_c)+(0.5*γ*B*N_γ)))/(γ*D_footing) --> (127.8-((1.27*9)+(0.5*18*2*1.6)))/(18*2.54)

What is Surcharge?

A surcharge load, typically consisting of fill material, placed on the design platform. This surcharge load, together with the platform fill, exerts pressures on the underlying soft soil and creates development of excess pore water pressures that are slow to dissipate due to the low permeability of these soft soils.
