Minor Normal Stress during Shear Failure by Rankine Analysis Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Minor Principal Stress in Soil = (Major Principal Stress in Soil-(2*Cohesion of Soil*tan((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil))))/(tan((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil)))^2
σ_min = (σ_major-(2*C_s*tan((i))))/(tan((i)))^2
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

tan - The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle., tan(Angle)

Variables Used

Minor Principal Stress in Soil - (Measured in Pascal) - Minor Principal Stress in Soil is defined as the plane carrying minimum normal stress is known as minor. principal plane and the stress acting on it is called as minor principal stress.
Major Principal Stress in Soil - (Measured in Pascal) - Major Principal Stress in Soil can be defined as the maximum normal stress acting on the principal plane in soil mechanics.
Cohesion of Soil - (Measured in Pascal) - Cohesion of Soil is the ability of like particles within soil to hold onto each other. It is the shear strength or force that binds together like particles in the structure of a soil.
Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil is defined as the angle measured from the horizontal surface of the wall or any object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Major Principal Stress in Soil: 0.75 Megapascal --> 750000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Cohesion of Soil: 5 Kilopascal --> 5000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil: 64 Degree --> 1.11701072127616 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

σ_min = (σ_major-(2*C_s*tan((i))))/(tan((i)))^2 --> (750000-(2*5000*tan((1.11701072127616))))/(tan((1.11701072127616)))^2

Evaluating ... ...

σ_min = 173534.982576397

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

173534.982576397 Pascal -->0.173534982576397 Megapascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.173534982576397 ≈ 0.173535 Megapascal <-- Minor Principal Stress in Soil

What is Normal Stress?

A normal stress is a stress that occurs when a member is loaded by an axial force. The value of the normal force for any prismatic section is simply the force divided by the cross sectional area. A normal stress will occur when a member is placed in tension or compression.
