Variables Used
Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal - (Measured in Pascal) - Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal also called as surcharge load refers to the vertical pressure or any load that acts over the ground surface additional to basic earth pressure.
Ultimate Bearing Capacity - (Measured in Pascal) - The Ultimate Bearing Capacity is defined as the minimum gross pressure intensity at the base of the foundation at which the soil fails in shear.
Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal - (Measured in Pascal) - Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal 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.
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion - Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion is a constant whose value depends upon the cohesion of soil.

What is Surcharge?

Surcharge is the additional load on the soil which may be created due to any overlying structure or any moving object.Total stress on the surface of the soil is because of the surcharge only. So total stress is equal to the surcharge q. σ = q. No water present above this plane, hence pore water pressure is zero.
