c = S_n*(γ*h_cs)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Cohesion of Soil - (Measured in Kilopascal) - Cohesion of Soil is the ability of like particles within soil to hold onto each other. It is the shear strength or force that binds together like particles in the structure of a soil.
Stability Number - Stability Number is a parameter used to assess the stability of slopes, particularly in soil mechanics and geotechnical analyses.
Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Soil mass is the ratio of the total weight of soil to the total volume of soil.
Critical Depth for Stability Number - (Measured in Meter) - The Critical Depth for Stability Number is the depth within a soil mass where the Stability Number (a dimensionless parameter used to assess slope stability) reaches a critical value.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Stability Number: 2.01 --> No Conversion Required
