Eccentricity given Vertical Normal Stress at Upstream Face Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Eccentricity at Upstream = (1-(Vertical Stress at a Point/(Vertical Component of Force/(144*Thickness of Dam))))*Thickness of Dam/6
e_u = (1-(σ_z/(F_v/(144*T))))*T/6
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Eccentricity at Upstream - Eccentricity at Upstream is the distance from point of application of resultant to center of base.
Vertical Stress at a Point - (Measured in Pascal) - Vertical Stress at a Point is the stress acting perpendicular to the surface.
Vertical Component of Force - (Measured in Newton) - Vertical component of force is the resolved force acting along the vertical direction.
Thickness of Dam - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Dam is the measurement or extent of dam from side to side.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Vertical Stress at a Point: 2.5 Pascal --> 2.5 Pascal No Conversion Required
Vertical Component of Force: 15 Newton --> 15 Newton No Conversion Required
Thickness of Dam: 2.2 Meter --> 2.2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

e_u = (1-(σ_z/(F_v/(144*T))))*T/6 --> (1-(2.5/(15/(144*2.2))))*2.2/6

Evaluating ... ...

e_u = -18.9933333333333

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

-18.9933333333333 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

-18.9933333333333 ≈ -18.993333 <-- Eccentricity at Upstream
