Unit Weight of Soil given Total Thrust from Soil with Small Angles of Internal Friction Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Unit Weight of Soil = ((2*Total Thrust of Soil/(Total Height of Wall)^2)+(4*Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal/Total Height of Wall))
γ = ((2*P/(h_w)^2)+(4*C/h_w))
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.
Total Thrust of Soil - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Total Thrust of Soil is the force acting on unit length of soil.
Total Height of Wall - (Measured in Meter) - Total height of wall which is under the consideration.
Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal - (Measured in Pascal) - Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal 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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Thrust of Soil: 10 Kilonewton per Meter --> 10000 Newton per Meter (Check conversion here)
Total Height of Wall: 3.1 Meter --> 3.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal: 1.27 Kilopascal --> 1270 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ = ((2*P/(h_w)^2)+(4*C/h_w)) --> ((2*10000/(3.1)^2)+(4*1270/3.1))

Evaluating ... ...

γ = 3719.87513007284

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3719.87513007284 Newton per Cubic Meter -->3.71987513007284 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

3.71987513007284 ≈ 3.719875 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Unit Weight of Soil
