c = (ζ_cs*f_s)-(σ_n*tan((φ)))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

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

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.
Shear Stress in Cohesive Soil - (Measured in Kilonewton per Square Meter) - Shear Stress in Cohesive Soil is the stress that acts parallel to the plane of failure within cohesive soils such as clay or silt.
Factor of Safety - Factor of Safety expresses how much stronger a system is than it needs to be for an intended load.
Normal Stress at a Point in Soil - (Measured in Kilonewton per Square Meter) - Normal Stress at a Point in Soil is defined as the force per unit area acting perpendicular to an imaginary plane passing through that point.
Angle of Internal Friction - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Internal Friction is the angle measured between the normal force and resultant force.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Shear Stress in Cohesive Soil: 29.72 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 29.72 Kilonewton per Square Meter No Conversion Required
Factor of Safety: 0.88 --> No Conversion Required
Normal Stress at a Point in Soil: 21.66 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 21.66 Kilonewton per Square Meter No Conversion Required
Angle of Internal Friction: 47.48 Degree --> 0.828682328846752 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

c = (ζ_cs*f_s)-(σ_n*tan((φ))) --> (29.72*0.88)-(21.66*tan((0.828682328846752)))

Evaluating ... ...

c = 2.53241685262355

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2532.41685262355 Pascal -->2.53241685262355 Kilopascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

2.53241685262355 ≈ 2.532417 Kilopascal <-- Cohesion of Soil
