Gross Pressure Intensity given Net Pressure Intensity Formula Elements

Variables
Gross Pressure
Gross Pressure is the total pressure at the base of the footing due to the weight of the superstructure and earth fill if any.
Symbol: qg
Measurement: PressureUnit: kN/m²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Net Pressure
Net Pressure is the difference between the total pressure exerted on a soil mass and the pore water pressure within the soil.
Symbol: qn
Measurement: PressureUnit: kN/m²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
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.
