Unit weight of Soil given Pore Pressure Ratio Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Unit Weight of Soil = (Upward Force in Seepage Analysis/(Pore Pressure Ratio*Height of Slice))
γ = (F_u/(r_u*z))
This formula uses 4 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.
Upward Force in Seepage Analysis - (Measured in Pascal) - Upward Force in Seepage Analysis is due to seepage water.
Pore Pressure Ratio - Pore pressure ratio is a crude way of describing pore-water conditions in a slope stability analysis.
Height of Slice - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Slice taken into the consideration.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Upward Force in Seepage Analysis: 52.89 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 52890 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Pore Pressure Ratio: 0.9 --> No Conversion Required
Height of Slice: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ = (F_u/(r_u*z)) --> (52890/(0.9*3))

Evaluating ... ...

γ = 19588.8888888889

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

19588.8888888889 Newton per Cubic Meter -->19.5888888888889 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

19.5888888888889 ≈ 19.58889 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Unit Weight of Soil

Length of Arc of Slice given Effective Stress

LaTeX Go Length of Arc = Total Normal Force/(Effective Normal Stress+Total Pore Pressure)

Effective Stress on Slice

LaTeX Go Effective Normal Stress = (Total Normal Force/Length of Arc)-Total Pore Pressure

Normal Stress on Slice

LaTeX Go Normal Stress in Pascal = Total Normal Force/Length of Arc

Length of Arc of Slice

LaTeX Go Length of Arc = Total Normal Force/Normal Stress in Pascal
