Angle of Internal Friction of Soil
Angle of Internal Friction of Soil is is a measure of the shear strength of soil due to friction.
Symbol: Φi
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value should be between -180 to 180.
Factor of Safety in Soil Mechanics
Factor of Safety in Soil Mechanics expresses how much stronger a system is than it needs to be for an intended load.
Symbol: Fs
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
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: Cs
Measurement: PressureUnit: kPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Unit Weight of Soil
Unit Weight of Soil mass is the ratio of the total weight of soil to the total volume of soil.
Symbol: γ
Measurement: Specific WeightUnit: kN/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Height from Toe of Wedge to Top of Wedge
Height from Toe of Wedge to Top of Wedge of soil.
Symbol: H
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Angle of Inclination in Soil Mechanics
Angle of Inclination in Soil Mechanics the angle formed by the x-axis and a given line (measured counterclockwise from the positive half of the x-axis).
Symbol: θi
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Slope Angle in Soil Mechanics
Slope Angle in Soil Mechanics is defined as the angle measured between a horizontal plane at a given point on the land surface.
Symbol: θslope
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value should be between -45 to 180.
sin
Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse.
Syntax: sin(Angle)
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)
atan
Inverse tan is used to calculate the angle by applying the tangent ratio of the angle, which is the opposite side divided by the adjacent side of the right triangle.
Syntax: atan(Number)
