Head given Neutral Stress per unit Area for Dams on Soft Foundations Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Height of Dam = (Minimum Stress/(Depth of Dam*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter)-1)*Length of Travel path
h = (σ_min/(D*W)-1)*L_Travelpath
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Height of Dam - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Dam is the distance between the lowest and highest points of a person/ shape/ object standing upright.
Minimum Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Minimum Stress is defined as the minimum stress that is induced or applied to the object.
Depth of Dam - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Dam is the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something.
Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter is the weight per unit volume of water.
Length of Travel path - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Travel path refers to the total distance traveled along a specific route or trajectory.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Minimum Stress: 106.3 Newton per Square Meter --> 106.3 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Depth of Dam: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Travel path: 6 Meter --> 6 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h = (σ_min/(D*W)-1)*L_Travelpath --> (106.3/(3*9.81)-1)*6

Evaluating ... ...

h = 15.6717635066259

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

15.6717635066259 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

15.6717635066259 ≈ 15.67176 Meter <-- Height of Dam
