Net Ultimate Bearing Capacity given Ultimate Bearing Capacity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Net Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Soil = Ultimate Bearing Capacity-Effective Surcharge in Kilo Pascal
q_net = q_f-σ_s
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Net Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Soil - (Measured in Pascal) - Net Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Soil is the minimum net pressure intensity causing shear failure.
Ultimate Bearing Capacity - (Measured in Pascal) - Ultimate Bearing Capacity is defined as the minimum gross pressure intensity at the base of the foundation at which the soil fails in shear.
Effective Surcharge in Kilo Pascal - (Measured in Pascal) - Effective Surcharge in Kilo Pascal also called as surcharge load refers to the vertical pressure or any load that acts over the ground surface additional to basic earth pressure.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Ultimate Bearing Capacity: 60 Kilopascal --> 60000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Effective Surcharge in Kilo Pascal: 0.45 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 450 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

q_net = q_f-σ_s --> 60000-450

Evaluating ... ...

q_net = 59550

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

59550 Pascal -->59.55 Kilonewton per Square Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

59.55 Kilonewton per Square Meter <-- Net Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Soil

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
