Shear Strength of Soil given Angle of Internal Friction Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Shear Strength of Soil = (Shear Stress for Factor of Safety*(tan(Angle of Internal Friction of Soil)/tan(Angle of Inclination)))
τ_soil = (𝜏_Shearstress*(tan(Φ_i)/tan(I)))
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

Shear Strength of Soil - (Measured in Megapascal) - Shear Strength of Soil is the maximum shear stress that a soil can withstand without undergoing failure or excessive deformation.
Shear Stress for Factor of Safety - (Measured in Pascal) - Shear Stress for Factor of Safety is force is the maximum shear stress that a soil can withstand before failure, considering a safety factor.
Angle of Internal Friction of Soil - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Internal Friction of Soil is a measure of the shear strength of soil due to friction.
Angle of Inclination - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Inclination is the angle measured from the horizontal surface of the wall or any object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Shear Stress for Factor of Safety: 15.909 Pascal --> 15.909 Pascal No Conversion Required
Angle of Internal Friction of Soil: 78.69 Degree --> 1.37339958839408 Radian (Check conversion here)
Angle of Inclination: 80 Degree --> 1.3962634015952 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

τ_soil = (𝜏_Shearstress*(tan(Φ_i)/tan(I))) --> (15.909*(tan(1.37339958839408)/tan(1.3962634015952)))

Evaluating ... ...

τ_soil = 14.0258437235657

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

14025843.7235657 Pascal -->14.0258437235657 Megapascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

14.0258437235657 ≈ 14.02584 Megapascal <-- Shear Strength of Soil
