STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Ultimate Bearing Capacity in Soil: 127.8 Kilopascal --> 127800 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Width of Footing: 2 Meter --> 2 Meter No Conversion Required
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight: 1.6 --> No Conversion Required
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge: 2.01 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

σ_s = (q_fc-(0.4*γ*B*N_γ))/N_q --> (127800-(0.4*18000*2*1.6))/2.01

Evaluating ... ...

σ_s = 52119.4029850746

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

52119.4029850746 Pascal -->52.1194029850746 Kilonewton per Square Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

52.1194029850746 ≈ 52.1194 Kilonewton per Square Meter <-- Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal

What is Surcharge?

Surcharge is the additional load on the soil which may be created due to any overlying structure or any moving object.Total stress on the surface of the soil is because of the surcharge only. So total stress is equal to the surcharge q. σ = q. No water present above this plane, hence pore water pressure is zero.
