Driving Moment given Factor of Safety Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Driving Moment = Resisting Moment/Factor of Safety
M_D = M_R/f_s
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Driving Moment - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Driving Moment is the moment (or torque) that drives or causes rotational movement in a soil mass or structural element, such as a retaining wall or pile foundation.
Resisting Moment - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Resisting Moment is the moment (or torque) that counteracts the applied moment or load that tends to cause rotation or failure in a soil mass or structure.
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

Resisting Moment: 45.05 Kilonewton Meter --> 45050 Newton Meter (Check conversion here)
Factor of Safety: 2.8 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

M_D = M_R/f_s --> 45050/2.8

Evaluating ... ...

M_D = 16089.2857142857

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

16089.2857142857 Newton Meter -->16.0892857142857 Kilonewton Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

16.0892857142857 ≈ 16.08929 Kilonewton Meter <-- Driving Moment
