d_section = (q_fc-(σ_s*N_q))/(0.3*N_γ*γ)
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Diameter of Section - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Section is the diameter of the circular cross-section of the beam.
Ultimate Bearing Capacity in Soil - (Measured in Pascal) - Ultimate Bearing Capacity in Soil is defined as the minimum gross pressure intensity at the base of the foundation at which the soil fails in shear.
Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal - (Measured in Pascal) - Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal also called as surcharge load refers to the vertical pressure or any load that acts over the ground surface additional to basic earth pressure.
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge - Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge is a constant whose value depends upon surcharge.
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight - Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight is a constant whose value depends upon unit weight of soil.
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

Ultimate Bearing Capacity in Soil: 127.8 Kilopascal --> 127800 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal: 45.9 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 45900 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge: 2.01 --> No Conversion Required
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight: 1.6 --> No Conversion Required
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_section = (q_fc-(σ_s*N_q))/(0.3*N_γ*γ) --> (127800-(45900*2.01))/(0.3*1.6*18000)

Evaluating ... ...

d_section = 4.11354166666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.11354166666667 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.11354166666667 ≈ 4.113542 Meter <-- Diameter of Section
