Passive Earth Pressure Coefficient given Bearing Capacity Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Coefficient of Passive Pressure = ((Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight/(tan((Angle of Shearing Resistance))/2))+1)*(cos((Angle of Shearing Resistance)))^2
K_P = ((N_γ/(tan((φ))/2))+1)*(cos((φ)))^2
This formula uses 2 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)
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

Coefficient of Passive Pressure - Coefficient of Passive Pressure is defined as the ratio of the horizontal to vertical stress.
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight - Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight is a constant whose value depends upon unit weight of soil.
Angle of Shearing Resistance - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Shearing Resistance is known as a component of the shear strength of the soils which is basically frictional material and composed of individual particles.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight: 1.6 --> No Conversion Required
Angle of Shearing Resistance: 45 Degree --> 0.785398163397301 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

K_P = ((N_γ/(tan((φ))/2))+1)*(cos((φ)))^2 --> ((1.6/(tan((0.785398163397301))/2))+1)*(cos((0.785398163397301)))^2

Evaluating ... ...

K_P = 2.10000000000109

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.10000000000109 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.10000000000109 ≈ 2.1 <-- Coefficient of Passive Pressure
