Minor Normal Stress given Unit Weight of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Minor Principal Stress in Soil = Unit Weight of Soil*Depth of Footing
σ_min = γ*D
This formula uses 3 Variables

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.
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.
Depth of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Footing is the longer dimension of the footing.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Depth of Footing: 15.2 Meter --> 15.2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

σ_min = γ*D --> 18000*15.2

Evaluating ... ...

σ_min = 273600

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

273600 Pascal -->0.2736 Megapascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.2736 Megapascal <-- Minor Principal Stress in Soil

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

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.
