Length of Conduit given Neutral Stress per unit area for Dams on Soft Foundations Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Minimum Safe Length of Travel path = Height of Dam/((Neutral Stress/(Depth of Dam*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter)-1))
L_n = h/((σ_{Neutralstress}/(D*W)-1))
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Minimum Safe Length of Travel path - (Measured in Meter) - Minimum Safe Length of Travel path is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Height of Dam - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Dam is the distance between the lowest and highest points of a person/ shape/ object standing upright.
Neutral Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Neutral Stress in a soil mass is a force per effective area.stress taken up by the pore water and stress taken up by solid particles.
Depth of Dam - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Dam is the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something.
Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter is the weight per unit volume of water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Height of Dam: 15.6 Meter --> 15.6 Meter No Conversion Required
Neutral Stress: 187.7 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 187700 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Depth of Dam: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_n = h/((σ_{Neutralstress}/(D*W)-1)) --> 15.6/((187700/(3*9810)-1))

Evaluating ... ...

L_n = 2.90078978960005

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.90078978960005 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.90078978960005 ≈ 2.90079 Meter <-- Minimum Safe Length of Travel path
