Weight of Soil Contained within Failure Plane Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Weight of Soil = Ultimate Resistance-(pi*Length of Soil Section*Skin Friction Stress in Soil Mechanics)-Shaft Weight in Soil Mechanics
W_soil = Q_ul-(pi*L*f _ut)-W_s
This formula uses 1 Constants, 5 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Weight of Soil - (Measured in Newton) - Weight of Soil is the weight of soil contained within the failure plane.
Ultimate Resistance - (Measured in Newton) - Ultimate Resistance is the amount of load applied to a component beyond which the component will fail.
Length of Soil Section - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Soil Section is the vertical or horizontal extent of soil being analyzed or considered within a specific context.
Skin Friction Stress in Soil Mechanics - (Measured in Pascal) - Skin Friction Stress in Soil Mechanics is the average ultimate skin- friction stress in tension developed on the failure plane.
Shaft Weight in Soil Mechanics - (Measured in Newton) - Shaft Weight in Soil Mechanics is the weight of the pile shaft.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Ultimate Resistance: 1000 Kilonewton --> 1000000 Newton (Check conversion here)
Length of Soil Section: 0.52 Meter --> 0.52 Meter No Conversion Required
Skin Friction Stress in Soil Mechanics: 0.012 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 12 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Shaft Weight in Soil Mechanics: 994.98 Kilonewton --> 994980 Newton (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_soil = Q_ul-(pi*L*f _ut)-W_s --> 1000000-(pi*0.52*12)-994980

Evaluating ... ...

W_soil = 5000.39646184165

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

5000.39646184165 Newton -->5.00039646184165 Kilonewton (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

5.00039646184165 ≈ 5.000396 Kilonewton <-- Weight of Soil
