Bearing Area Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Bearing Area Factor = ((Length of Bearing+0.375)/Length of Bearing)
C_b = ((l_b1+0.375)/l_b1)
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Bearing Area Factor - Bearing area factor is used to increase design values for concentrated loads on wood perpendicular to the grain.
Length of Bearing - (Measured in Millimeter) - Length of Bearing is measured parallel to the grain.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Length of Bearing: 50 Millimeter --> 50 Millimeter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_b = ((l_b1+0.375)/l_b1) --> ((50+0.375)/50)

Evaluating ... ...

C_b = 1.0075

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.0075 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.0075 <-- Bearing Area Factor

What is Bearing Area Factor?

The bearing area factor (C_b) is used to increase design values for concentrated loads on wood perpendicular to the grain. The factor applies to bearings of any length at the ends of the member, and to all bearings 6" or more in length at any other location. It is useful when high loads are present on washers, hangers, etc.

What is Bearing Length?

The bearing length is defined as the length along the beam under which a high concentration of stresses due to concentrated loads is transferred to the supporting structure below.

How to Calculate Bearing Area Factor?

Bearing Area Factor calculator uses Bearing Area Factor = ((Length of Bearing+0.375)/Length of Bearing) to calculate the Bearing Area Factor, The Bearing Area Factor formula is defined as increased design values for concentrated loads on wood perpendicular to the grain. Bearing Area Factor is denoted by C_b symbol.

How to calculate Bearing Area Factor using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Bearing Area Factor, enter Length of Bearing (l_b1) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Bearing Area Factor calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.0075 = ((0.05+0.375)/0.05).

FAQ

What is Bearing Area Factor?

The Bearing Area Factor formula is defined as increased design values for concentrated loads on wood perpendicular to the grain and is represented as C_b = ((l_b1+0.375)/l_b1) or Bearing Area Factor = ((Length of Bearing+0.375)/Length of Bearing). Length of Bearing is measured parallel to the grain.

How to calculate Bearing Area Factor?

The Bearing Area Factor formula is defined as increased design values for concentrated loads on wood perpendicular to the grain is calculated using Bearing Area Factor = ((Length of Bearing+0.375)/Length of Bearing). To calculate Bearing Area Factor, you need Length of Bearing (l_b1). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Length of Bearing and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
