Width of Footing given Load Intensity

LaTeX Go Width of Footing = (-Load Intensity+sqrt((Load Intensity)^2+Total Downward Force in Soil*Unit Weight of Soil*tan(Angle of Shearing Resistance)))/((Unit Weight of Soil*tan(Angle of Shearing Resistance))/2)

Downward Force on Wedge

LaTeX Go Total Downward Force in Soil = Load Intensity*Width of Footing+((Unit Weight of Soil*Width of Footing^2*tan(Angle of Shearing Resistance)*(pi/180))/4)

Unit Weight of Soil given Weight of Wedge and Width of Footing

LaTeX Go Unit Weight of Soil = (Weight of Wedge in Kilonewton*4)/(tan((Angle of Shearing Resistance))*(Width of Footing)^2)

Weight of Wedge given Width of Footing

LaTeX Go Weight of Wedge in Kilonewton = (tan(Angle of Shearing Resistance)*Unit Weight of Soil*(Width of Footing)^2)/4

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.

How to Calculate Cohesion of Soil given Loading Intensity by Terzaghi's Analysis?

Cohesion of Soil given Loading Intensity by Terzaghi's Analysis calculator uses Cohesion = (Load Intensity-(((2*Passive Earth Pressure)/Width of Footing)-((Unit Weight of Soil*Width of Footing*tan((Angle of Shearing Resistance*pi)/180))/4)))/tan((Angle of Shearing Resistance*pi)/180) to calculate the Cohesion, The Cohesion of Soil given Loading Intensity by Terzaghi's Analysis formula is defined as the value of cohesion of soil when we have prior information of load intensity by Terzaghi's analysis. Cohesion is denoted by C symbol.
