Bearing Stress in Local Zone Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Bearing Stress = Prestressing Force/Punching Area
f_br = F/A_pun
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Bearing Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Bearing Stress is described as the contact pressure between the separate bodies.
Prestressing Force - (Measured in Newton) - Prestressing Force is the force internally applied to the prestressed concrete section.
Punching Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Punching area can be described as the defined as the space occupied by a flat shape or the surface of an object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Prestressing Force: 400 Kilonewton --> 400000 Newton (Check conversion here)
Punching Area: 0.008 Square Meter --> 0.008 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

f_br = F/A_pun --> 400000/0.008

Evaluating ... ...

f_br = 50000000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

50000000 Pascal -->50 Newton per Square Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

50 Newton per Square Millimeter <-- Bearing Stress

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is meant by Prestress in Tendon?

Prestress in Tendon is defined to introduce internal stresses into (something, such as a structural beam) to counteract the stresses that will result from applied load. A tendon for prestressed concrete structure comprises a core member such as a steel wire for prestressed concrete structures, a steel strand for prestressed concrete structures or a steel bar for prestressed concrete structures, and an unset bonding material coating the core structure in a predetermined thickness, having a specific setting time determined by selectively determining the respective contents of the ingredient of the bonding material and capable of setting at an ordinary temperature.

What is the difference between Normal Stress and Bearing Stress?

Normal Stress -
A normal stress is a stress that occurs when a member is loaded by an axial force. The value of the normal force for any prismatic section is simply the force divided by the cross sectional area.
A normal stress will occur when a member is placed in tension or compression. Examples of members experiencing pure normal forces would include columns, collar ties, etc.

Bearing Stress -
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.
