Resisting Moment in Geotechnical Engineering Formulas

Resisting Moment is the moment (or torque) that counteracts the applied moment or load that tends to cause rotation or failure in a soil mass or structure. And is denoted by M_R. Resisting Moment is usually measured using the Kilonewton Meter for Moment of Force. Note that the value of Resisting Moment is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Resisting Moment?

Resisting Moment is the moment (or torque) that counteracts the applied moment or load that tends to cause rotation or failure in a soil mass or structure. Resisting Moment is usually measured using the Kilonewton Meter for Moment of Force. Note that the value of Resisting Moment is always positive.

Can the Resisting Moment be negative?

No, the Resisting Moment, measured in Moment of Force cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Resisting Moment?

Resisting Moment is usually measured using the Kilonewton Meter[kN*m] for Moment of Force. Newton Meter[kN*m], Millinewton Meter[kN*m], Micronewton Meter[kN*m] are the few other units in which Resisting Moment can be measured.
