How to Calculate Cohesion of Soil given Bearing Capacity for Local Shear Failure?
Cohesion of Soil given Bearing Capacity for Local Shear Failure calculator uses Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal = (Ultimate Bearing Capacity in Soil-((Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal*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 given Bearing Capacity for Local Shear Failure is defined as soil is the internal molecular attraction resisting shear, crucial for local shear failure in bearing capacity analysis. Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal is denoted by C symbol.
How to calculate Cohesion of Soil given Bearing Capacity for Local Shear Failure using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Cohesion of Soil given Bearing Capacity for Local Shear Failure, enter Ultimate Bearing Capacity in Soil (qfc), Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal (σs), Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge (Nq), Unit Weight of Soil (γ), 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 given Bearing Capacity for Local Shear Failure calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.0012 = (127800-((45900*2.01)+(0.5*18000*2*1.6)))/((2/3)*9).
