Effective Cohesion given Factor of Safety of Earth Dam evaluator uses Effective Cohesion = ((Factor of Safety*Sum of all Tangential Component)-((Sum of all Normal Component-Total Pore Pressure)*tan((Effective Angle of Internal Friction*pi)/180)))/Length of Slip Arc to evaluate the Effective Cohesion, The Effective Cohesion given Factor of Safety of Earth Dam is defined as the value of effective cohesion when we have prior information of factor of safety. Effective Cohesion is denoted by c' symbol.
How to evaluate Effective Cohesion given Factor of Safety of Earth Dam using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Effective Cohesion given Factor of Safety of Earth Dam, enter Factor of Safety (fs), Sum of all Tangential Component (ΣT), Sum of all Normal Component (ΣN), Total Pore Pressure (ΣU), Effective Angle of Internal Friction (φ') & Length of Slip Arc (L') and hit the calculate button.
