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)
Diameter of Section: 5 Meter --> 5 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-(0.3*γ*d_section*N_γ))/N_q --> (127800-(0.3*18000*5*1.6))/2.01

Evaluating ... ...

σ_s = 42089.552238806

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

42089.552238806 Pascal -->42.089552238806 Kilonewton per Square Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

42.089552238806 ≈ 42.08955 Kilonewton per Square Meter <-- Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal

What is Effective 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.
