Bearing Capacity Factor Dependent on Surcharge for Case of Local Shear Failure Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Bearing Capacity Factor Dependent on Surcharge for Case of Local Shear Failure?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
Nq=(qnu-(((23)CNc)+(0.5BγNγ))σs)+1
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
Nq=(87kN/m²-(((23)1.27kPa9)+(0.52m18kN/m³1.6))45.9kN/m²)+1
Next Step Convert Units
Nq=(87000Pa-(((23)1270Pa9)+(0.52m18000N/m³1.6))45900Pa)+1
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
Nq=(87000-(((23)12709)+(0.52180001.6))45900)+1
Next Step Evaluate
Nq=2.10196078431373
LAST Step Rounding Answer
Nq=2.102
