Width of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Footing is the shorter dimension of the footing.
Length of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Footing is the length of the larger dimension of the footing.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Ultimate Bearing Capacity: 60 Kilopascal --> 60000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal: 45.9 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 45900 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion: 9 --> No Conversion Required
Width of Footing: 2 Meter --> 2 Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Footing: 4 Meter --> 4 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C = (q_f-σ_s)/((N_c)*(1+0.3*(B/L))) --> (60000-45900)/((9)*(1+0.3*(2/4)))

Evaluating ... ...

C = 1362.31884057971

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1362.31884057971 Pascal -->1.36231884057971 Kilopascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1.36231884057971 ≈ 1.362319 Kilopascal <-- Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal

What is Cohesion?

Cohesion is the stress (act) of sticking together. Yet, in engineering mechanics, particularly in soil mechanics, cohesion refers to shear strength under zero normal stress, or the intercept of a material's failure envelope with shear stress axis in the shear stress-normal stress space.
