Variables Used
Shear Force - (Measured in Newton) - Shear Force is the force which causes shear deformation to occur in the shear plane.
Deflection due to Moments on Arch Dam - (Measured in Meter) - The Deflection due to Moments on Arch Dam is the degree to which a structural element is displaced under a load (due to its deformation).
Elastic Modulus of Rock - (Measured in Pascal) - Elastic Modulus of Rock is defined as the linear elastic deformation response of rock under deformation.
Constant K3 - Constant K3 is defined as the constant depending on b/a ratio and Poisson ratio of an Arch Dam.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Deflection due to Moments on Arch Dam: 48.1 Meter --> 48.1 Meter No Conversion Required
