Bearing Capacity Factor Dependent on Weight given Passive Earth Pressure Coefficient Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight = (tan((Angle of Shearing Resistance))/2)*((Coefficient of Passive Pressure/(cos(Angle of Shearing Resistance))^2)-1)
N_γ = (tan((φ))/2)*((K_P/(cos(φ))^2)-1)
This formula uses 2 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)
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)

Variables Used

Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight - Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight is a constant whose value depends upon unit weight of soil.
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.
Coefficient of Passive Pressure - Coefficient of Passive Pressure is defined as the ratio of the horizontal to vertical stress.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Angle of Shearing Resistance: 45 Degree --> 0.785398163397301 Radian (Check conversion here)
Coefficient of Passive Pressure: 2.1 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

N_γ = (tan((φ))/2)*((K_P/(cos(φ))^2)-1) --> (tan((0.785398163397301))/2)*((2.1/(cos(0.785398163397301))^2)-1)

Evaluating ... ...

N_γ = 1.59999999999891

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.59999999999891 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.59999999999891 ≈ 1.6 <-- Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight
