Shear Strength of Soil given Factor of Safety Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Shear Strength in KN per Cubic Meter = Ultimate Shear Stress in Soil Mechanics*Factor of Safety
τ_f = ζ*f_s
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Shear Strength in KN per Cubic Meter - (Measured in Pascal) - Shear Strength in KN per Cubic Meter is the strength of a material against structural failure when the material fails in shear.
Ultimate Shear Stress in Soil Mechanics - (Measured in Pascal) - Ultimate Shear Stress in Soil Mechanics is force tending to cause deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress.
Factor of Safety - Factor of Safety expresses how much stronger a system is than it needs to be for an intended load.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Ultimate Shear Stress in Soil Mechanics: 1.69 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 1690 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Factor of Safety: 2.8 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

τ_f = ζ*f_s --> 1690*2.8

Evaluating ... ...

τ_f = 4732

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4732 Pascal -->4.732 Kilonewton per Square Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

4.732 Kilonewton per Square Meter <-- Shear Strength in KN per Cubic Meter
