Load Intensity on Foundation given Settlement Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Load Intensity = (Settlement in Foundation*Coefficient dependent on internal friction)*(1+(2*Depth of Footing)/Width of Footing)+((Settlement in Foundation*Coefficient dependent on cohesion)/Width of Footing)
q_f = (Δ*C₁)*(1+(2*D)/B)+((Δ*C₂)/B)
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Load Intensity - (Measured in Megapascal) - Load Intensity is defined as load applied per unit area.
Settlement in Foundation - (Measured in Meter) - Settlement in Foundation is vertical movement of foundation due to applied load.
Coefficient dependent on internal friction - Coefficient dependent on internal friction depend upon angle of internal friction.
Depth of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Footing is the longer dimension of the footing.
Width of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Footing is the shorter dimension of the footing.
Coefficient dependent on cohesion - Coefficient dependent on cohesion usually determined by bearing-plate loading tests.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Settlement in Foundation: 5 Millimeter --> 0.005 Meter (Check conversion here)
Coefficient dependent on internal friction: 10 --> No Conversion Required
Depth of Footing: 15.2 Meter --> 15.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Width of Footing: 2 Meter --> 2 Meter No Conversion Required
Coefficient dependent on cohesion: 10 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

q_f = (Δ*C₁)*(1+(2*D)/B)+((Δ*C₂)/B) --> (0.005*10)*(1+(2*15.2)/2)+((0.005*10)/2)

Evaluating ... ...

q_f = 0.835

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

835000 Pascal -->0.835 Megapascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.835 Megapascal <-- Load Intensity

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

What is load intensity ?

Foundations distribute the loads of the super structure, to a larger area so that the intensity of the load at its base (i.e. total load divided by the total area) does not exceed the safe bearing capacity of the sub-soil.

How to Calculate Load Intensity on Foundation given Settlement?

Load Intensity on Foundation given Settlement calculator uses Load Intensity = (Settlement in Foundation*Coefficient dependent on internal friction)*(1+(2*Depth of Footing)/Width of Footing)+((Settlement in Foundation*Coefficient dependent on cohesion)/Width of Footing) to calculate the Load Intensity, The Load Intensity on Foundation given Settlement formula is defined as load applied per unit area of soil. Load Intensity is denoted by q_f symbol.
