Shear Strength given Normal Stress on Slice Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Shear Strength given Normal Stress on Slice?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

τ = (c' + (σ normal - u) \cdot \tan (\frac{φ' \cdot π}{180}))

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

τ = (4Pa + (15.71Pa - 20Pa) \cdot \tan (\frac{9.99° \cdot π}{180}))

Next Step Substitute values of Constants

∴

τ = (4Pa + (15.71Pa - 20Pa) \cdot \tan (\frac{9.99° \cdot 3.1416}{180}))

Next Step Convert Units

∴

τ = (4Pa + (15.71Pa - 20Pa) \cdot \tan (\frac{0.1744rad \cdot 3.1416}{180}))

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

τ = (4 + (15.71 - 20) \cdot \tan (\frac{0.1744 \cdot 3.1416}{180}))

Next Step Evaluate

∴

τ = 3.98694494047909Pa

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

τ = 3.9869Pa
