Minimum Bearing Pressure for Eccentric Loading Conventional Case Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Bearing Pressure Minimum = (Axial Load on Soil/(Breadth of Dam*Length of Footing))*(1-((6*Eccentricity of the Load on Soil)/Breadth of Dam))
q_min = (P/(b*L))*(1-((6*e_load)/b))
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Bearing Pressure Minimum - (Measured in Pascal) - Bearing Pressure Minimum is the minimum average contact pressure between the foundation and the soil which should produce shear failure in the soil.
Axial Load on Soil - (Measured in Newton) - Axial Load on Soil is defined as applying a force on a foundation directly along an axis of the foundation.
Breadth of Dam - (Measured in Meter) - Breadth of Dam is the horizontal distance or width of a dam at its base. It is a critical dimension that contributes to the stability and overall structural integrity of the dam.
Length of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Footing is the length of the larger dimension of the footing.
Eccentricity of the Load on Soil - (Measured in Meter) - Eccentricity of the Load on Soil is the distance from the center of gravity of the column section to the center of gravity of the applied load.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Axial Load on Soil: 631.99 Kilonewton --> 631990 Newton (Check conversion here)
Breadth of Dam: 0.2 Meter --> 0.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Footing: 4 Meter --> 4 Meter No Conversion Required
Eccentricity of the Load on Soil: 2.25 Millimeter --> 0.00225 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

q_min = (P/(b*L))*(1-((6*e_load)/b)) --> (631990/(0.2*4))*(1-((6*0.00225)/0.2))

Evaluating ... ...

q_min = 736663.34375

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

736663.34375 Pascal -->736.66334375 Kilonewton per Square Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

736.66334375 ≈ 736.6633 Kilonewton per Square Meter <-- Bearing Pressure Minimum
