Air Pressure in Geotechnical Engineering Formulas

Air Pressure is the pressure exerted by air on the walls in which it is confined. And is denoted by p_air. Air Pressure is usually measured using the Kilogram-Force per Square Meter for Pressure. Note that the value of Air Pressure is always positive. Typically, the value of Air Pressure is greater than 0.

FAQ

What is the Air Pressure?

Air Pressure is the pressure exerted by air on the walls in which it is confined. Air Pressure is usually measured using the Kilogram-Force per Square Meter for Pressure. Note that the value of Air Pressure is always positive. Typically, the value of Air Pressure is greater than 0.

Can the Air Pressure be negative?

No, the Air Pressure, measured in Pressure cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Air Pressure?

Air Pressure is usually measured using the Kilogram-Force per Square Meter[kgf/m²] for Pressure. Pascal[kgf/m²], Kilopascal[kgf/m²], Bar[kgf/m²] are the few other units in which Air Pressure can be measured.
