Horizontal Distance from Face of Wall to Main Steel Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Horizontal Distance = Normal Shear Unit Stress/(Thickness of Counterfort*Counterfort Shear Unit Stress)
d = V_o/(t_c*v_c)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Horizontal Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Horizontal Distance is the distance from face of wall to main steel.
Normal Shear Unit Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Normal Shear Unit Stress is the shear stress acting perpendicularly.
Thickness of Counterfort - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Counterfort is the thickness of a buttress built against or integral with a wall (as a retaining wall or dam) but on the back or thrust-receiving side.
Counterfort Shear Unit Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Counterfort Shear Unit Stress is the unit stress acting on a horizontal section.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Normal Shear Unit Stress: 8 Megapascal --> 8000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Thickness of Counterfort: 5.1 Millimeter --> 0.0051 Meter (Check conversion here)
Counterfort Shear Unit Stress: 3.2 Megapascal --> 3200000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d = V_o/(t_c*v_c) --> 8000000/(0.0051*3200000)

Evaluating ... ...

d = 490.196078431372

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

490.196078431372 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

490.196078431372 ≈ 490.1961 Meter <-- Horizontal Distance
