Normal Stress given Shear Strength of Cohesive Soil Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Normal Stress in Mega Pascal
Normal Stress in Mega Pascal is the stress component that acts perpendicular to the plane of interest within a soil mass measure in mega pascal.
Symbol: σnm
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Shear Strength
Shear Strength is the strength of a material against structural failure when the material fails in shear.
Symbol: τs
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Cohesion of Soil
Cohesion of Soil 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 greater than 0.
Angle of Internal Friction
Angle of Internal Friction is the angle measured between the normal force and resultant force.
Symbol: φ
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
tan
The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle.
Syntax: tan(Angle)
