Unit Weight of Soil given Critical Depth for Cohesive Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Unit Weight of Soil = Cohesion of Soil/(Critical Depth*(tan((Angle of Inclination))-tan((Angle of Internal Friction)))*(cos((Angle of Inclination)))^2)
γ = c/(h_c*(tan((I))-tan((φ)))*(cos((I)))^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)
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

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.
Cohesion of Soil - (Measured in Kilopascal) - Cohesion of Soil is the ability of like particles within soil to hold onto each other. It is the shear strength or force that binds together like particles in the structure of a soil.
Critical Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Critical Depth is the depth within a soil profile where the net pressure or stress acting on the soil particles is zero.
Angle of Inclination - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Inclination is the angle measured from the horizontal surface of the wall or any object.
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

Cohesion of Soil: 2.511 Kilopascal --> 2.511 Kilopascal No Conversion Required
Critical Depth: 1.01 Meter --> 1.01 Meter No Conversion Required
Angle of Inclination: 80 Degree --> 1.3962634015952 Radian (Check conversion here)
Angle of Internal Friction: 47.48 Degree --> 0.828682328846752 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ = c/(h_c*(tan((I))-tan((φ)))*(cos((I)))^2) --> 2.511/(1.01*(tan((1.3962634015952))-tan((0.828682328846752)))*(cos((1.3962634015952)))^2)

Evaluating ... ...

γ = 17.9990442188799

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

17999.0442188799 Newton per Cubic Meter -->17.9990442188799 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

17.9990442188799 ≈ 17.99904 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Unit Weight of Soil
