Unit Weight of Soil given Angle of Inclination from Horizontal Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Unit Weight of Soil = Net Ultimate Bearing Capacity/(Depth of Footing*(tan(Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil))^4)
γ = q_nf/(D*(tan(i))^4)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

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 Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Soil mass is the ratio of the total weight of soil to the total volume of soil.
Net Ultimate Bearing Capacity - (Measured in Pascal) - Net Ultimate Bearing Capacity is the minimum net pressure intensity causing shear failure.
Depth of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Footing is the longer dimension of the footing.
Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil is defined as the angle measured from the horizontal surface of the wall or any object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Net Ultimate Bearing Capacity: 150 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 150000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Depth of Footing: 15.2 Meter --> 15.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil: 64 Degree --> 1.11701072127616 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ = q_nf/(D*(tan(i))^4) --> 150000/(15.2*(tan(1.11701072127616))^4)

Evaluating ... ...

γ = 558.437751065974

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

558.437751065974 Newton per Cubic Meter -->0.558437751065974 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.558437751065974 ≈ 0.558438 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Unit Weight of Soil
