sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)

Variables Used

Intensity of Loading in Kilopascal - (Measured in Pascal) - Intensity of Loading in Kilopascal is defined as the Intensity of Loading at the base of foundation, at which soil support fails in shear is called ultimate bearing capacity of soils in kilopascal.
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.
Minimum Depth of Foundation - (Measured in Meter) - Minimum Depth of Foundation is around 5 feet for a small residential building from ground level or at least 1.50 times the width of footing.
Angle of Shearing Resistance - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Shearing Resistance is known as a component of the shear strength of the soils which is basically frictional material and composed of individual particles.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Minimum Depth of Foundation: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required
Angle of Shearing Resistance: 45 Degree --> 0.785398163397301 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

q = (γ*D_min)*((1+sin((φ*pi)/180))/(1-sin((φ*pi)/180)))^2 --> (18000*5)*((1+sin((0.785398163397301*pi)/180))/(1-sin((0.785398163397301*pi)/180)))^2

Evaluating ... ...

q = 95072.7628466461

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

95072.7628466461 Pascal -->95.0727628466461 Kilopascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

95.0727628466461 ≈ 95.07276 Kilopascal <-- Intensity of Loading in Kilopascal
