Cohesion of soil given Total Thrust from Soil that are Free to Move Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal = (0.25*Unit Weight of Soil*Total Height of Wall*sqrt(Coefficient of Active Pressure))-(0.5*Total Thrust of Soil/Total Height of Wall*sqrt(Coefficient of Active Pressure))
C = (0.25*γ*h_w*sqrt(K_A))-(0.5*P/h_w*sqrt(K_A))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal - (Measured in Pascal) - Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal 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.
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.
Total Height of Wall - (Measured in Meter) - Total height of wall which is under the consideration.
Coefficient of Active Pressure - Coefficient of Active Pressure is the ratio of horizontal and vertical principal effective stresses when a retaining wall moves away (by a small amount) from the retained soil.
Total Thrust of Soil - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Total Thrust of Soil is the force acting on unit length of soil.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Total Height of Wall: 3.1 Meter --> 3.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Active Pressure: 0.15 --> No Conversion Required
Total Thrust of Soil: 10 Kilonewton per Meter --> 10000 Newton per Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C = (0.25*γ*h_w*sqrt(K_A))-(0.5*P/h_w*sqrt(K_A)) --> (0.25*18000*3.1*sqrt(0.15))-(0.5*10000/3.1*sqrt(0.15))

Evaluating ... ...

C = 4778.13703470009

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4778.13703470009 Pascal -->4.77813703470009 Kilopascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

4.77813703470009 ≈ 4.778137 Kilopascal <-- Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal

What is Cohesive Soil?

"Cohesive soil" means clay (fine grained soil), or soil with a high clay content, which has cohesive strength. Cohesive soil does not crumble, can be excavated with vertical side slopes, and is plastic when moist. Cohesive soil is hard to break up when dry, and exhibits significant cohesion when submerged.
