Ultimate Bearing Capacity provided Angle of Inclination from Horizontal Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Net Ultimate Bearing Capacity = Unit Weight of Soil*Depth of Footing*(tan(Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil))^4
q_nf = γ*D*(tan(i))^4
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

Net Ultimate Bearing Capacity - (Measured in Pascal) - Net Ultimate Bearing Capacity is the minimum net pressure intensity causing shear failure.
Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Soil mass is the ratio of the total weight of soil to the total volume of soil.
Depth of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Footing is the longer dimension of the footing.
Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil is defined as the angle measured from the horizontal surface of the wall or any object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Depth of Footing: 15.2 Meter --> 15.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil: 64 Degree --> 1.11701072127616 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

q_nf = γ*D*(tan(i))^4 --> 18*15.2*(tan(1.11701072127616))^4

Evaluating ... ...

q_nf = 4834.91668470855

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4834.91668470855 Pascal -->4.83491668470855 Kilonewton per Square Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

4.83491668470855 ≈ 4.834917 Kilonewton per Square Meter <-- Net Ultimate Bearing Capacity

Major Stress during Shear Failure by Rankine Analysis

LaTeX Go Major Principal Stress in Soil = Minor Principal Stress in Soil*(tan((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil*180)/pi))^2+(2*Cohesion of Soil*tan((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil*180)/pi))

Minor Normal Stress during Shear Failure by Rankine Analysis

LaTeX Go Minor Principal Stress in Soil = (Major Principal Stress in Soil-(2*Cohesion of Soil*tan((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil))))/(tan((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil)))^2

Minor Normal Stress given Unit Weight of Soil

LaTeX Go Minor Principal Stress in Soil = Unit Weight of Soil*Depth of Footing

Unit Weight of Soil given Minor Normal Stress

LaTeX Go Unit Weight of Soil = Minor Principal Stress in Soil/Depth of Footing
