Effective Surcharge in Geotechnical Engineering Formulas
Effective Surcharge also called as surcharge load refers to the vertical pressure or any load that acts over the ground surface additional to basic earth pressure. And is denoted by σ'. Effective Surcharge is usually measured using the Pascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Effective Surcharge is always positive.

FAQ
What is the Effective Surcharge?
Effective Surcharge also called as surcharge load refers to the vertical pressure or any load that acts over the ground surface additional to basic earth pressure. Effective Surcharge is usually measured using the Pascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Effective Surcharge is always positive.
Can the Effective Surcharge be negative?
No, the Effective Surcharge, measured in Pressure cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Effective Surcharge?
Effective Surcharge is usually measured using the Pascal[Pa] for Pressure. Kilopascal[Pa], Bar[Pa], Pound Per Square Inch[Pa] are the few other units in which Effective Surcharge can be measured.
