Area of Flange for Braced Non-Compact Section for LFD Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Flange Area = (Maximum Unbraced Length*Yield Strength of Steel*Depth of Section)/20000
A_f = (L_b*f_y*d)/20000
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Flange Area - (Measured in Square Millimeter) - Flange Area is space occupied by flange.
Maximum Unbraced Length - (Measured in Meter) - Maximum Unbraced Length is the maximum distance along the member between brace points or points at which the member is braced against deflection in the given direction.
Yield Strength of Steel - (Measured in Pascal) - Yield strength of steel is the level of stress that corresponds to the yield point.
Depth of Section - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Section is the depth of any section whether it can be a steel beam section or a steel column section.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Unbraced Length: 1000 Millimeter --> 1 Meter (Check conversion here)
Yield Strength of Steel: 250 Megapascal --> 250000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Depth of Section: 350 Millimeter --> 0.35 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A_f = (L_b*f_y*d)/20000 --> (1*250000000*0.35)/20000

Evaluating ... ...

A_f = 4375

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.004375 Square Meter -->4375 Square Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

4375 Square Millimeter <-- Flange Area

(Calculation completed in 00.021 seconds)

What is Flange?

A flange is a protruded ridge, lip or rim, either external or internal, that serves to increase strength (as the flange of an iron beam such as an I-beam or a T-beam); for easy attachment/transfer of contact force with another object or for stabilizing and guiding the movements of a machine or its parts (as the inside flange of a rail car or tram wheel, which keep the wheels from running off the rails).
