STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal = Unit Weight of Soil*Depth of Footing
σs = γ*D
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal - (Measured in Pascal) - Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal also called as surcharge load refers to the vertical pressure or any load that acts over the ground surface additional to basic earth pressure.
Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Soil mass is the ratio of the total weight of soil to the total volume of soil.
Depth of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Footing is the longer dimension of the footing.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Depth of Footing: 15.2 Meter --> 15.2 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
σs = γ*D --> 18*15.2
Evaluating ... ...
σs = 273.6
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
273.6 Pascal -->0.2736 Kilonewton per Square Meter (Check conversion here)
FINAL ANSWER
0.2736 Kilonewton per Square Meter <-- Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal
