Gross Pressure Intensity given Net Pressure Intensity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Gross Pressure = Net Pressure+Effective Surcharge in Kilopascal
q_g = q_n+σ_s
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

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 difference between the total pressure exerted on a soil mass and the pore water pressure within the soil.
Effective Surcharge in Kilopascal - (Measured in Pascal) - Effective Surcharge in Kilopascal also called as surcharge load refers to the vertical pressure or any load that acts over the ground surface additional to basic earth pressure.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Net Pressure: 15 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 15000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Effective Surcharge in Kilopascal: 45.9 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 45900 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

q_g = q_n+σ_s --> 15000+45900

Evaluating ... ...

q_g = 60900

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

60900 Pascal -->60.9 Kilonewton per Square Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

60.9 Kilonewton per Square Meter <-- Gross Pressure

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
