Unit Weight of Soil given Minor Normal Stress Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Unit Weight of Soil = Minor Principal Stress in Soil/Depth of Footing
γ = σ_min/D
This formula uses 3 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.
Minor Principal Stress in Soil - (Measured in Pascal) - Minor Principal Stress in Soil is defined as the plane carrying minimum normal stress is known as minor. principal plane and the stress acting on it is called as minor principal stress.
Depth of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Footing is the longer dimension of the footing.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Minor Principal Stress in Soil: 0.0961 Megapascal --> 96100 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Depth of Footing: 15.2 Meter --> 15.2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ = σ_min/D --> 96100/15.2

Evaluating ... ...

γ = 6322.36842105263

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6322.36842105263 Newton per Cubic Meter -->6.32236842105263 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

6.32236842105263 ≈ 6.322368 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Unit Weight of Soil
