How to Calculate Cohesion of Soil for Local Shear Failure given Depth of Footing?
Cohesion of Soil for Local Shear Failure given Depth of Footing calculator uses Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal = (Ultimate Bearing Capacity in Soil-(((Unit Weight of Soil*Depth of Footing in Soil)*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge)+(0.5*Unit Weight of Soil*Width of Footing*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight)))/((2/3)*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion) to calculate the Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal, The Cohesion of Soil for Local Shear Failure given Depth of Footing is defined as a soil's internal resistance to shear; local shear failure occurs when footing depth exceeds critical depth for stability. Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal is denoted by C symbol.
How to calculate Cohesion of Soil for Local Shear Failure given Depth of Footing using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Cohesion of Soil for Local Shear Failure given Depth of Footing, enter Ultimate Bearing Capacity in Soil (qfc), Unit Weight of Soil (γ), Depth of Footing in Soil (Dfooting), Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge (Nq), Width of Footing (B), Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight (Nγ) & Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion (Nc) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Cohesion of Soil for Local Shear Failure given Depth of Footing calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.00126 = (127800-(((18000*2.54)*2.01)+(0.5*18000*2*1.6)))/((2/3)*9).
