Depth of Prism given Factor of Safety for Cohesive Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Depth of Prism = Unit Cohesion/((Factor of Safety-(tan((Angle of Internal Friction of Soil))/tan((Angle of Inclination))))*Unit Weight of Soil*cos((Angle of Inclination))*sin((Angle of Inclination)))
z = c_u/((f_s-(tan((Φ_i))/tan((I))))*γ*cos((I))*sin((I)))
This formula uses 3 Functions, 6 Variables

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)
cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)
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

Depth of Prism - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Prism is the length of prism along z direction.
Unit Cohesion - (Measured in Pascal) - Unit Cohesion is the force that holds together molecules or like particles within a soil.
Factor of Safety - Factor of Safety expresses how much stronger a system is than it needs to be for an intended load.
Angle of Internal Friction of Soil - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Internal Friction of Soil is is a measure of the shear strength of soil due to friction.
Angle of Inclination - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Inclination is defined as the angle measured from the horizontal surface of the wall or any object.
Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Soil mass is the ratio of the total weight of soil to the total volume of soil.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Unit Cohesion: 10 Pascal --> 10 Pascal No Conversion Required
Factor of Safety: 2.8 --> No Conversion Required
Angle of Internal Friction of Soil: 82.87 Degree --> 1.44635435112743 Radian (Check conversion here)
Angle of Inclination: 80 Degree --> 1.3962634015952 Radian (Check conversion here)
Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

z = c_u/((f_s-(tan((Φ_i))/tan((I))))*γ*cos((I))*sin((I))) --> 10/((2.8-(tan((1.44635435112743))/tan((1.3962634015952))))*18*cos((1.3962634015952))*sin((1.3962634015952)))

Evaluating ... ...

z = 2.3365343879461

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.3365343879461 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.3365343879461 ≈ 2.336534 Meter <-- Depth of Prism
