σ_s = q_g-q_n
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Effective Surcharge in Kilo Pascal - (Measured in Pascal) - Effective Surcharge in Kilo Pascal also called as surcharge load refers to the vertical pressure or any load that acts over the ground surface additional to basic earth pressure.
Gross Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Gross Pressure is the total pressure at the base of the footing due to the weight of the superstructure and earth fill if any.
Net Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Net Pressure is the pressure exerted by the overlying soil or rock mass, minus the pore water pressure within the groundwater system.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Gross Pressure: 60.9 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 60900 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Net Pressure: 60.45 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 60450 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

σ_s = q_g-q_n --> 60900-60450

Evaluating ... ...

σ_s = 450
