How to Calculate Unit Weight of Soil given Shape Factor?
Unit Weight of Soil given Shape Factor calculator uses Unit Weight of Soil = (Ultimate Bearing Capacity-((Shape Factor dependent on Cohesion
*Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion)+(Effective Surcharge*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge)))/(0.5*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight*Width of Footing*Shape Factor Dependent on Unit Weight) to calculate the Unit Weight of Soil, The Unit Weight of Soil given Shape Factor is defined as the value of unit weight of soil when we have prior information of other parameters used. Unit Weight of Soil is denoted by γ symbol.
How to calculate Unit Weight of Soil given Shape Factor using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Unit Weight of Soil given Shape Factor, enter Ultimate Bearing Capacity (qf), Shape Factor dependent on Cohesion (sc), Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal (C), Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion (Nc), Effective Surcharge (σ`), Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge (Nq), Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight (Nγ), Width of Footing (B) & Shape Factor Dependent on Unit Weight (sγ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Unit Weight of Soil given Shape Factor calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.015839 = (60000-((1.7
*1270*9)+(10*2.01)))/(0.5*1.6*2*1.6).
