Thickness of Counterfort Shear Unit Stress on Horizontal Section Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
Normal Shear Unit Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Normal Shear Unit Stress is the shear stress acting perpendicularly.
Counterfort Shear Unit Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Counterfort Shear Unit Stress is the unit stress acting on a horizontal section.
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)
Counterfort Shear Unit Stress: 3.2 Megapascal --> 3200000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Horizontal Distance: 500.2 Meter --> 500.2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_c = V_o/(v_c*d) --> 8000000/(3200000*500.2)

Evaluating ... ...

t_c = 0.00499800079968013

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00499800079968013 Meter -->4.99800079968013 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

4.99800079968013 ≈ 4.998001 Millimeter <-- Thickness of Counterfort
