Unit Weight of Soil given Value of Bearing Capacity Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Unit Weight of Soil = (Ultimate Bearing Capacity-(Cohesion of Soil*5.7))/(Depth of Footing)
γ = (q_f-(C_s*5.7))/(D)
This formula uses 4 Variables

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.
Ultimate Bearing Capacity - (Measured in Kilopascal) - The Ultimate Bearing Capacity is defined as the minimum gross pressure intensity at the base of the foundation at which the soil fails in shear.
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.
Depth of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Footing is the longer dimension of the footing.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Ultimate Bearing Capacity: 60 Kilopascal --> 60 Kilopascal No Conversion Required
Cohesion of Soil: 5 Kilopascal --> 5 Kilopascal No Conversion Required
Depth of Footing: 1.01 Meter --> 1.01 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ = (q_f-(C_s*5.7))/(D) --> (60-(5*5.7))/(1.01)

Evaluating ... ...

γ = 31.1881188118812

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

31188.1188118812 Newton per Cubic Meter -->31.1881188118812 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

31.1881188118812 ≈ 31.18812 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Unit Weight of Soil
