Embankment Compression given Induced Pore Pressure Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Embankment Compression = (Induced Pore Pressure*(Volume of Free Air Voids+(Henry's Constant*Volume of Pore Water)))/(Induced Pore Pressure+Air Pressure)
Δ = (u*(V_a+(H*V_w)))/(u+p_air)
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Embankment Compression - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Embankment Compression is soil settlement due to applied load on filled ground, causing volume reduction and potential structural issues.
Induced Pore Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Induced Pore Pressure occurs when the saturated soil is stressed and when the porosity cannot increase.
Volume of Free Air Voids - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Free Air Voids is spaces in a material not filled with solid particles, indicating porosity and permeability.
Henry's Constant - Henry's Constant is the ratio of the concentration of the gas in the liquid phase to its partial pressure in the gas phase.
Volume of Pore Water - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Pore Water is the amount of water within the voids of a soil or rock, excluding solid particles.
Air Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Air Pressure is the pressure exerted by air on the walls in which it is confined.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Induced Pore Pressure: 3.001 Pascal --> 3.001 Pascal No Conversion Required
Volume of Free Air Voids: 2.01 Cubic Meter --> 2.01 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Henry's Constant: 0.023 --> No Conversion Required
Volume of Pore Water: 5 Cubic Meter --> 5 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Air Pressure: 0.08 Kilogram-Force per Square Meter --> 0.784531999999945 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Δ = (u*(V_a+(H*V_w)))/(u+p_air) --> (3.001*(2.01+(0.023*5)))/(3.001+0.784531999999945)

Evaluating ... ...

Δ = 1.68460470021125

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.68460470021125 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.68460470021125 ≈ 1.684605 Cubic Meter <-- Embankment Compression
