Weighted Friction Angle given Factor of Safety with respect to Shear Strength Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Weighted Friction Angle = atan((Submerged Unit Weight/Saturated Unit Weight)*(tan((Angle of Internal Friction of Soil))/Factor of Safety))
φ_w = atan((γ^'/γ_sat)*(tan((Φ_i))/f_s))
This formula uses 2 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

tan - The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle., tan(Angle)
atan - Inverse tan is used to calculate the angle by applying the tangent ratio of the angle, which is the opposite side divided by the adjacent side of the right triangle., atan(Number)

Variables Used

Weighted Friction Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Weighted Friction Angle is an effective measure combining materials' friction properties and their relative contributions in geotechnical engineering for stability analysis.
Submerged Unit Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Submerged Unit Weight is the effective weight of the soil per unit volume when it is submerged in water.
Saturated Unit Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Saturated Unit Weight is the value of the unit weight of the soil when the soil is completely saturated with water that is all the soil pores are completely filled with water.
Angle of Internal Friction of Soil - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Internal Friction of Soil is a measure of the shear strength of soil due to friction.
Factor of Safety - Factor of Safety is a measure of the load-carrying capacity of a structure or material compared to the actual load or stress that is applied to it.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Submerged Unit Weight: 31 Newton per Cubic Meter --> 31 Newton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Saturated Unit Weight: 9.98 Newton per Cubic Meter --> 9.98 Newton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Angle of Internal Friction of Soil: 82.87 Degree --> 1.44635435112743 Radian (Check conversion here)
Factor of Safety: 2.8 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

φ_w = atan((γ^'/γ_sat)*(tan((Φ_i))/f_s)) --> atan((31/9.98)*(tan((1.44635435112743))/2.8))

Evaluating ... ...

φ_w = 1.45851353248699

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.45851353248699 Radian -->83.566669774237 Degree (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

83.566669774237 ≈ 83.56667 Degree <-- Weighted Friction Angle
