Height of Slice given Pore Pressure Ratio Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Height of Slice = (Upward Force in Seepage Analysis/(Pore Pressure Ratio*Unit Weight of Soil))
z = (F_u/(r_u*γ))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Height of Slice - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Slice taken into the consideration.
Upward Force in Seepage Analysis - (Measured in Pascal) - Upward Force in Seepage Analysis is due to seepage water.
Pore Pressure Ratio - Pore pressure ratio is a crude way of describing pore-water conditions in a slope stability analysis.
Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Soil mass is the ratio of the total weight of soil to the total volume of soil.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Upward Force in Seepage Analysis: 52.89 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 52890 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Pore Pressure Ratio: 0.9 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

z = (F_u/(r_u*γ)) --> (52890/(0.9*18000))

Evaluating ... ...

z = 3.26481481481481

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.26481481481481 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.26481481481481 ≈ 3.264815 Meter <-- Height of Slice

Length of Arc of Slice given Effective Stress

Go Length of Arc = Total Normal Force/(Effective Normal Stress+Total Pore Pressure)

Effective Stress on Slice

Go Effective Normal Stress = (Total Normal Force/Length of Arc)-Total Pore Pressure

Normal Stress on Slice

Go Normal Stress in Pascal = Total Normal Force/Length of Arc

Length of Arc of Slice

Go Length of Arc = Total Normal Force/Normal Stress in Pascal

Height of Slice given Pore Pressure Ratio Formula

Height of Slice = (Upward Force in Seepage Analysis/(Pore Pressure Ratio*Unit Weight of Soil))
z = (F_u/(r_u*γ))

What is Pore Water Pressure?

Pore water pressure refers to the pressure of groundwater held within a soil or rock, in gaps between particles. Pore water pressures below the phreatic level of the groundwater are measured with piezometers.
