What is Cohesive Soil?
"Cohesive soil" means clay (fine grained soil), or soil with a high clay content, which has cohesive strength. Cohesive soil does not crumble, can be excavated with vertical side slopes, and is plastic when moist. Cohesive soil is hard to break up when dry, and exhibits significant cohesion when submerged.
How to Calculate Cohesion of soil given Total Thrust from Soil that are Free to Move?
Cohesion of soil given Total Thrust from Soil that are Free to Move calculator uses Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal = (0.25*Unit Weight of Soil*Total Height of Wall*sqrt(Coefficient of Active Pressure))-(0.5*Total Thrust of Soil/Total Height of Wall*sqrt(Coefficient of Active Pressure)) to calculate the Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal, The Cohesion of soil given Total Thrust from Soil that are Free to Move is defined as ability to stay or fit together well. Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal is denoted by C symbol.
How to calculate Cohesion of soil given Total Thrust from Soil that are Free to Move using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Cohesion of soil given Total Thrust from Soil that are Free to Move, enter Unit Weight of Soil (γ), Total Height of Wall (hw), Coefficient of Active Pressure (KA) & Total Thrust of Soil (P) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Cohesion of soil given Total Thrust from Soil that are Free to Move calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.004778 = (0.25*18000*3.1*sqrt(0.15))-(0.5*10000/3.1*sqrt(0.15)).
