Total Height of Wall given Total Thrust from Soil for Level Surface behind Wall Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Height of Wall = sqrt((2*Total Thrust of Soil)/(Unit Weight of Soil*Coefficient of Active Pressure))
h_w = sqrt((2*P)/(γ*K_A))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Total Height of Wall - (Measured in Meter) - Total height of wall which is under the consideration.
Total Thrust of Soil - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Total Thrust of Soil is the force acting on unit length of soil.
Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Soil mass is the ratio of the total weight of soil to the total volume of soil.
Coefficient of Active Pressure - Coefficient of Active Pressure is the ratio of horizontal and vertical principal effective stresses when a retaining wall moves away (by a small amount) from the retained soil.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Thrust of Soil: 10 Kilonewton per Meter --> 10000 Newton per Meter (Check conversion here)
Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Coefficient of Active Pressure: 0.15 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_w = sqrt((2*P)/(γ*K_A)) --> sqrt((2*10000)/(18000*0.15))

Evaluating ... ...

h_w = 2.72165526975909

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.72165526975909 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.72165526975909 ≈ 2.721655 Meter <-- Total Height of Wall
