Total Height of Wall given Total Thrust from Soil that are Completely Restrained Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Height of Wall = sqrt((2*Total Thrust of Soil)/(Unit Weight of Soil*cos(Angle of Inclination)*((cos(Angle of Inclination)+sqrt((cos(Angle of Inclination))^2-(cos(Angle of Internal Friction))^2))/(cos(Angle of Inclination)-sqrt((cos(Angle of Inclination))^2-(cos(Angle of Internal Friction))^2)))))
h_w = sqrt((2*P)/(γ*cos(i)*((cos(i)+sqrt((cos(i))^2-(cos(φ))^2))/(cos(i)-sqrt((cos(i))^2-(cos(φ))^2)))))
This formula uses 2 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)
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.
Angle of Inclination - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Inclination of ground surface behind wall with horizontal.
Angle of Internal Friction - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Internal Friction is the angle measured between the normal force and resultant force .

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)
Angle of Inclination: 30 Degree --> 0.5235987755982 Radian (Check conversion here)
Angle of Internal Friction: 46 Degree --> 0.802851455917241 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_w = sqrt((2*P)/(γ*cos(i)*((cos(i)+sqrt((cos(i))^2-(cos(φ))^2))/(cos(i)-sqrt((cos(i))^2-(cos(φ))^2))))) --> sqrt((2*10000)/(18000*cos(0.5235987755982)*((cos(0.5235987755982)+sqrt((cos(0.5235987755982))^2-(cos(0.802851455917241))^2))/(cos(0.5235987755982)-sqrt((cos(0.5235987755982))^2-(cos(0.802851455917241))^2)))))

Evaluating ... ...

h_w = 0.56886044578709

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.56886044578709 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.56886044578709 ≈ 0.56886 Meter <-- Total Height of Wall
