Depth of Footing given Minor Normal Stress Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Depth of Footing = Minor Principal Stress in Soil/Unit Weight of Soil
D = σ_min/γ
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Depth of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Footing is the longer dimension of the footing.
Minor Principal Stress in Soil - (Measured in Pascal) - Minor Principal Stress in Soil is defined as the plane carrying minimum normal stress is known as minor. principal plane and the stress acting on it is called as minor principal stress.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Minor Principal Stress in Soil: 0.0961 Megapascal --> 96100 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D = σ_min/γ --> 96100/18000

Evaluating ... ...

D = 5.33888888888889

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

5.33888888888889 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

5.33888888888889 ≈ 5.338889 Meter <-- Depth of Footing

What is Footing?

Footings are an important part of foundation construction. They are typically made of concrete with rebar reinforcement that has been poured into an excavated trench. The purpose of footings is to support the foundation and prevent settling. Footings are especially important in areas with troublesome soils.

How to Calculate Depth of Footing given Minor Normal Stress?

Depth of Footing given Minor Normal Stress calculator uses Depth of Footing = Minor Principal Stress in Soil/Unit Weight of Soil to calculate the Depth of Footing, The Depth of Footing given Minor Normal Stress is defined as the value of depth of footing when we have prior information of other parameters used. Depth of Footing is denoted by D symbol.

How to calculate Depth of Footing given Minor Normal Stress using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Depth of Footing given Minor Normal Stress, enter Minor Principal Stress in Soil (σ_min) & Unit Weight of Soil (γ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Depth of Footing given Minor Normal Stress calculation can be explained with given input values -> 5.338889 = 96100/18000.
