Minor Normal Stress given Unit Weight of Soil Formula

Minor Principal Stress in Soil = Unit Weight of Soil*Depth of Footing
σmin = γ*D

What is Normal Stress?

A normal stress is a stress that occurs when a member is loaded by an axial force. The value of the normal force for any prismatic section is simply the force divided by the cross sectional area. A normal stress will occur when a member is placed in tension or compression.
