Specific Gravity of Water given Neutral stress per unit area for Dams on Soft Foundations Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter = Neutral Stress/(Depth of Dam*(1+Height of Dam/Minimum Safe Length of Travel path))
W = σ_{Neutralstress}/(D*(1+h/L_n))
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter is the weight per unit volume of water.
Neutral Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Neutral Stress in a soil mass is a force per effective area.stress taken up by the pore water and stress taken up by solid particles.
Depth of Dam - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Dam is the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something.
Height of Dam - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Dam is the distance between the lowest and highest points of a person/ shape/ object standing upright.
Minimum Safe Length of Travel path - (Measured in Meter) - Minimum Safe Length of Travel path is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Neutral Stress: 187.7 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 187700 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Depth of Dam: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Height of Dam: 15.6 Meter --> 15.6 Meter No Conversion Required
Minimum Safe Length of Travel path: 2.9 Meter --> 2.9 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W = σ_{Neutralstress}/(D*(1+h/L_n)) --> 187700/(3*(1+15.6/2.9))

Evaluating ... ...

W = 9807.74774774775

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9807.74774774775 Newton per Cubic Meter -->9.80774774774775 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

9.80774774774775 ≈ 9.807748 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter
