This formula uses 1 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Allowable Bending Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Allowable Bending Stress is the maximum bending stress that can be applied to a material or a structural element without causing failure.
Width of Plate - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Plate is one of the surface dimensions of a flat, solid plate, typically measured in millimeters or inches. It is one of the larger surface dimensions, while thickness is smaller dimension.
Distance from Beam Bottom to Web Fillet - (Measured in Meter) - Distance from Beam Bottom to Web Fillet is the distance from the outer face of the flange (the bottom of the beam) to the web toe of the fillet.
Actual Bearing Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Actual Bearing Pressure is the exact bearing capacity of the given structure, in simple words it is the ratio of the applied load to the contact area.
Minimum Plate Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Minimum Plate Thickness is the distance between the top and bottom surfaces of a flat, solid plate. This distance is typically measured in millimeters or inches.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Width of Plate: 150 Millimeter --> 0.15 Meter (Check conversion here)
Distance from Beam Bottom to Web Fillet: 70 Millimeter --> 0.07 Meter (Check conversion here)
Actual Bearing Pressure: 10 Megapascal --> 10000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Minimum Plate Thickness: 16 Millimeter --> 0.016 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_b = ((((1/2)*B-k)*sqrt(3*f_p))/t)^2 --> ((((1/2)*0.15-0.07)*sqrt(3*10000000))/0.016)^2

Evaluating ... ...

F_b = 2929687.49999999

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2929687.49999999 Pascal -->2.92968749999999 Megapascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

2.92968749999999 ≈ 2.929687 Megapascal <-- Allowable Bending Stress

What are Bearing Plates and its advantages?

It is a plate placed under one end of a truss beam, girder, or column to distribute the load. They are used to transfer concentrated compressive forces between two structural elements. Typically, this occurs in two conditions: When a beam or column is supported by concrete or masonry, or. When a beam support is large, concentrated load from a supported element, such as a column.
The advantages of Bearing Plates are as follows:
1. They distribute the loads to a wider area.
2. They carry the loads or movement in both vertical and horizontal directions.
3. They reduce the deflection and also the impact loading if any.
4. They will be mostly flexible and adaptable.

What is Bearing Stress & different types of Bearing Plates?

The Bearing Stress is the contact pressure between the separate bodies. It differs from compressive stress, as it is an internal stress caused by compressive forces. Allowable Bearing Stress is a value based on an arbitrary amount of deformation of a body subjected to a bearing pressure.
The different types of Bearing Plates are as follows:
1. Sliding bearings.
2. Rocker and pin bearings.
3. Roller bearings.
4. Elastomeric bearings.
5. Curved bearings.
6. Disk bearings.
