Diameter of Section - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Section is the diameter of the circular cross-section of the beam.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Ultimate Bearing Capacity in Soil: 127.8 Kilopascal --> 127800 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal: 45.9 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 45900 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge: 2.01 --> No Conversion Required
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight: 1.6 --> No Conversion Required
Diameter of Section: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ = (q_fc-(σ_s*N_q))/(0.3*N_γ*d_section) --> (127800-(45900*2.01))/(0.3*1.6*5)

Evaluating ... ...

γ = 14808.75

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

14808.75 Newton per Cubic Meter -->14.80875 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

14.80875 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Unit Weight of Soil
