Length of Slip Plane given Weight of Wedge of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Slip Plane = Weight of Wedge in Kilonewton/((Height of Wedge*Unit Weight of Soil)/2)
L = W_we/((h*γ)/2)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Length of Slip Plane - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Slip Plane is the length of plane along which failure may occur.
Weight of Wedge in Kilonewton - (Measured in Newton) - Weight of Wedge in Kilonewton is defined as the weight of total soil which is in the form of wedge in terms of Kilonewton.
Height of Wedge - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Wedge is defined as the height of soil wedge considered.
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

Weight of Wedge in Kilonewton: 138.09 Kilonewton --> 138090 Newton (Check conversion here)
Height of Wedge: 3.01 Meter --> 3.01 Meter 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

L = W_we/((h*γ)/2) --> 138090/((3.01*18000)/2)

Evaluating ... ...

L = 5.09745293466224

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

5.09745293466224 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

5.09745293466224 ≈ 5.097453 Meter <-- Length of Slip Plane
