How do you convert kilonewtons per square meter to tonnes per square meter?
To convert kilonewtons per square meter to tonnes per square meter, divide the number of kilonewtons per square meter by 9.80665. 1 kN/m² = 0.101972 t/m².
Tonne per Square Meter = Kilonewton per Square Meter ÷ 9.80665
Soil bearing capacity in kN/m² and t/m²
1 t/m² (tonne-force per square meter) = 9.80665 kN/m², so divide kN/m² by about 9.81 to get t/m². Engineers often round this to 10 for a quick check.
A safe bearing capacity of 150 kN/m² is about 15.3 t/m², or 1.53 kg/cm². Soil reports in India may use any of these units, so convert before comparing a footing design with the report.
