Calculation method
Calculation method
Depth/total/pore/effective stress profile (JSON)
Integrate total unit weight by layer; hydrostatic pore pressure below supplied water table; effective stress=total−pore.
Symbols and units
- a
- Layer thicknesses (m)
- b
- Total unit weights (kN/m³)
- c
- Water table depth (m)
- d
- Water unit weight (kN/m³)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Integrate total unit weight by layer; hydrostatic pore pressure below supplied water table; effective stress=total−pore. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
