Unit Weight of Non Cohesive Soil given Bearing Capacity of Square Footing Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Unit Weight of Soil = (Ultimate Bearing Capacity in Soil-(Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge))/(0.4*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight*Width of Footing)
γ = (q_fc-(σ_s*N_q))/(0.4*N_γ*B)
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Newton 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 in Soil - (Measured in Pascal) - Ultimate Bearing Capacity in Soil is defined as the minimum gross pressure intensity at the base of the foundation at which the soil fails in shear.
Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal - (Measured in Pascal) - Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal also called as surcharge load refers to the vertical pressure or any load that acts over the ground surface additional to basic earth pressure.
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge - Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge is a constant whose value depends upon surcharge.
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight - Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight is a constant whose value depends upon unit weight of soil.
Width of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Footing is the shorter dimension of the footing.

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
Width of Footing: 2 Meter --> 2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ = (q_fc-(σ_s*N_q))/(0.4*N_γ*B) --> (127800-(45900*2.01))/(0.4*1.6*2)

Evaluating ... ...

γ = 27766.40625

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

27766.40625 Newton per Cubic Meter -->27.76640625 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

27.76640625 ≈ 27.76641 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Unit Weight of Soil
