Vertical Stress on Surface of Prism Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Vertical Stress at a Point = Weight of Prism/Inclined Length
σ_z = W/b
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Vertical Stress at a Point - (Measured in Pascal) - Vertical Stress at a Point is the stress acting perpendicular to the surface.
Weight of Prism - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of Prism means the weight of soil prism.
Inclined Length - (Measured in Meter) - Inclined Length of prism is along the slope.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Prism: 100 Kilogram --> 100 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Inclined Length: 10 Meter --> 10 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

σ_z = W/b --> 100/10

Evaluating ... ...

σ_z = 10

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10 Pascal -->1E-05 Megapascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1E-05 ≈ 1E-5 Megapascal <-- Vertical Stress at a Point

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Inclined Length along Slope given Weight of Soil Prism

LaTeX Go Inclined Length = Weight of Prism/(Unit Weight of Soil*Depth of Prism*cos((Angle of Inclination)))

Unit Weight of Soil given Weight of Soil Prism

LaTeX Go Unit Weight of Soil = Weight of Prism/(Depth of Prism*Inclined Length*cos((Angle of Inclination)))

Weight of Soil Prism in Stability Analysis

LaTeX Go Weight of Prism = (Unit Weight of Soil*Depth of Prism*Inclined Length*cos((Angle of Inclination)))

Depth of Prism given Weight of Soil Prism

LaTeX Go Depth of Prism = Weight of Prism/(Unit Weight of Soil*Inclined Length*cos((Angle of Inclination)))

Vertical Stress on Surface of Prism Formula

LaTeX Go

Vertical Stress at a Point = Weight of Prism/Inclined Length
