Cohesion of Soil for Purely Cohesive Soil given Unit Weight of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Cohesion of Soil = (Ultimate Bearing Capacity-(Unit Weight of Soil*Depth of Footing))/5.7
C_s = (q_f-(γ*D))/5.7
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Cohesion of Soil - (Measured in Pascal) - 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.
Ultimate Bearing Capacity - (Measured in Pascal) - The Ultimate Bearing Capacity is defined as the minimum gross pressure intensity at the base of the foundation at which the soil fails in shear.
Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Soil mass is the ratio of the total weight of soil to the total volume of soil.
Depth of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Footing is the longer dimension of the footing.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Ultimate Bearing Capacity: 60 Kilopascal --> 60000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Depth of Footing: 1.01 Meter --> 1.01 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_s = (q_f-(γ*D))/5.7 --> (60000-(18000*1.01))/5.7

Evaluating ... ...

C_s = 7336.84210526316

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7336.84210526316 Pascal -->7.33684210526316 Kilopascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

7.33684210526316 ≈ 7.336842 Kilopascal <-- Cohesion of Soil
