Allowable Stress for Compression Elements for Highway Bridges Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Allowable Stress = 0.44*Yield Strength of Steel
σ_allowable = 0.44*f_y
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Allowable Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Allowable stress is also known as working load and is the ratio of tensile strength and factor of safety.
Yield Strength of Steel - (Measured in Pascal) - Yield strength of steel is the level of stress that corresponds to the yield point.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Yield Strength of Steel: 250 Megapascal --> 250000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

σ_allowable = 0.44*f_y --> 0.44*250000000

Evaluating ... ...

σ_allowable = 110000000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

110000000 Pascal -->110000000 Newton per Square Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

110000000 ≈ 1.1E+8 Newton per Square Meter <-- Allowable Stress

Tension at Midspan given Tension at Supports for UDL on Parabolic Cable

LaTeX Go Tension at Midspan = sqrt((Tension at Supports^2)-(((Uniformly Distributed Load*Cable Span)/2)^2))

UDL given Tension at Supports for UDL on Parabolic Cable

LaTeX Go Uniformly Distributed Load = (sqrt((Tension at Supports^2)-(Tension at Midspan^2))*2)/Cable Span

Tension at Supports for UDL on Parabolic Cable

LaTeX Go Tension at Supports = sqrt((Tension at Midspan^2)+(Uniformly Distributed Load*Cable Span/2)^2)

Maximum Sag given Tension at Midspan for UDL on Parabolic Cable

LaTeX Go Maximum Sag = Uniformly Distributed Load*(Cable Span^2)/(8*Tension at Midspan)

Allowable Stress = 0.44*Yield Strength of Steel
σ_allowable = 0.44*f_y

What is Yield Strength of Steel?

Yield strength is the maximum stress that can be applied before it begins to change shape permanently. This is an approximation of the elastic limit of the steel. If stress is added to the metal but does not reach the yield point, it will return to its original shape after the stress is removed
