Effective Surcharge for Circular Footing given Value of Bearing Capacity Factor Formula Elements

Variables
Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal
Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal also called as surcharge load refers to the vertical pressure or any load that acts over the ground surface additional to basic earth pressure.
Symbol: σs
Measurement: PressureUnit: kN/m²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Ultimate Bearing Capacity
The Ultimate Bearing Capacity is defined as the minimum gross pressure intensity at the base of the foundation at which the soil fails in shear.
Symbol: qf
Measurement: PressureUnit: kPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal
Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal is the ability of like particles within soil to hold onto each other. It is the shear strength or force that binds together like particles in the structure of a soil.
Symbol: C
Measurement: PressureUnit: kPa
Note: Value should be between 0 to 50.
