Depth of Prism for Cohesive Soil given Submerged Slope Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Depth of Prism = (Cohesion of Soil/((Factor of Safety-(tan((Angle of Internal Friction))/tan((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil))))*Submerged Unit Weight*cos((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil))*sin((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil))))
z = (C_s/((f_s-(tan((φ))/tan((i))))*γ^'*cos((i))*sin((i))))
