Variables Used

Allowable Compression Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Allowable Compression Stress is the maximum stress (tensile, compressive or bending) that is allowed to be applied on a structural material.
Effective Length Factor - Effective Length Factor is the factor used for the members in the frame. It depends on the ratio of compression member stiffness to the end restraint stiffness.
Effective Column Length - (Measured in Meter) - Effective Column Length of a column is the length of an equivalent pin-ended column that has the same load-carrying capacity and buckling behaviour as the actual column with different end conditions.
Radius of Gyration - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Gyration is the distance from the axis of rotation to a point where the total mass of any body is supposed to be concentrated.
Factor for Allowable Stress Design - Factor for Allowable Stress Design is the usual term used to demarcate between inelastic and elastic member buckling.
Yield Stress of Steel - (Measured in Pascal) - Yield Stress of Steel is the stress at which the material begins to deform plastically, meaning it will not return to its original shape when the applied force is removed.
Safety Factor - Safety factor otherwise called as factor of safety expresses how much stronger a system is than it needs to be for an intended load.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Effective Length Factor: 0.75 --> No Conversion Required

What is Allowable Stress Design or ASD?

In the Allowable Stress (or working stress) Design, member stresses computed under the action of service (or working) loads are compared to some predesignated stresses called allowable stresses. The allowable stresses are usually expressed as a function of the yield stress or tensile stress of the material.

Define Radius of Gyration & Slenderness Ratio.

The radius of gyration is defined as the imaginary distance from the centroid at which the area of the cross-section is imagined to be focused on a point to obtain the same moment of inertia. It is the perpendicular distance from point mass to the axis of rotation.
The slenderness ratio can also be defined as the ratio of the effective length of the column to the minimum radius of gyration1. It serves as a measure of the column’s ability to withstand buckling pressure. In structural engineering, slenderness is a measure of the propensity of a column to buckle.
