How to Calculate Unit Weight of Soil given Depth and Width of Footing?
Unit Weight of Soil given Depth and Width of Footing calculator uses Unit Weight of Soil = (Ultimate Bearing Capacity-(Cohesion of Soil*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion))/((Depth of Footing*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge)+(0.5*Width of Footing*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight)) to calculate the Unit Weight of Soil, The Unit Weight of Soil given Depth and Width of Footing is defined as the weight per unit volume, calculated using the depth and width of the footing. Unit Weight of Soil is denoted by γ symbol.
How to calculate Unit Weight of Soil given Depth and Width of Footing using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Unit Weight of Soil given Depth and Width of Footing, enter Ultimate Bearing Capacity (qf), Cohesion of Soil (Cs), Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion (Nc), Depth of Footing (D), Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge (Nq), Width of Footing (B) & Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight (Nγ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Unit Weight of Soil given Depth and Width of Footing calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.004144 = (60000-(5000*9))/((1.01*2.01)+(0.5*2*1.6)).
