Driving Moment in Geotechnical Engineering Formulas

Driving Moment is the moment (or torque) that drives or causes rotational movement in a soil mass or structural element, such as a retaining wall or pile foundation. And is denoted by M_D. Driving Moment is usually measured using the Kilonewton Meter for Moment of Force. Note that the value of Driving Moment is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Driving Moment?

Driving Moment is the moment (or torque) that drives or causes rotational movement in a soil mass or structural element, such as a retaining wall or pile foundation. Driving Moment is usually measured using the Kilonewton Meter for Moment of Force. Note that the value of Driving Moment is always positive.

Can the Driving Moment be negative?

No, the Driving Moment, measured in Moment of Force cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Driving Moment?

Driving Moment is usually measured using the Kilonewton Meter[kN*m] for Moment of Force. Newton Meter[kN*m], Millinewton Meter[kN*m], Micronewton Meter[kN*m] are the few other units in which Driving Moment can be measured.
