Counterfort Shear Unit Stress on Horizontal Section Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Counterfort Shear Unit Stress = Normal Shear Unit Stress/(Thickness of Counterfort*Horizontal Distance)
v_c = V_o/(t_c*d)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Counterfort Shear Unit Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Counterfort Shear Unit Stress is the unit stress acting on a horizontal section.
Normal Shear Unit Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Normal Shear Unit Stress is the shear stress acting perpendicularly.
Thickness of Counterfort - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Counterfort is the thickness of a buttress built against or integral with a wall (as a retaining wall or dam) but on the back or thrust-receiving side.
Horizontal Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Horizontal Distance is the distance from face of wall to main steel.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Normal Shear Unit Stress: 8 Megapascal --> 8000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Thickness of Counterfort: 5.1 Millimeter --> 0.0051 Meter (Check conversion here)
Horizontal Distance: 500.2 Meter --> 500.2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v_c = V_o/(t_c*d) --> 8000000/(0.0051*500.2)

Evaluating ... ...

v_c = 3136000.50176008

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3136000.50176008 Pascal -->3.13600050176008 Megapascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

3.13600050176008 ≈ 3.136001 Megapascal <-- Counterfort Shear Unit Stress
