Collapse Prevention Level Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Collapse Prevention Level = (32*Length of Primary Member^4*Length of Secondary Member)/(10^7*Moment of Inertia of Primary Member)
C_p = (32*L_p^4*L_s)/(10^7*I_p)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Collapse Prevention Level - Collapse Prevention Level can be described as the building performance level which consists of the structural collapse prevention level with no consideration of nonstructural vulnerabilities.
Length of Primary Member - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Primary Member can be defined as the measurement of primary element in length.
Length of Secondary Member - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Secondary Member can be described as the measurement of the secondary element in length.
Moment of Inertia of Primary Member - (Measured in Meter⁴ per Meter) - Moment of Inertia of Primary Member can be described as the quantity expressed by the body resisting angular acceleration.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Length of Primary Member: 1.5 Meter --> 1.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Secondary Member: 0.5 Meter --> 0.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Moment of Inertia of Primary Member: 85 Millimeter⁴ per Millimeter --> 8.5E-08 Meter⁴ per Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_p = (32*L_p^4*L_s)/(10^7*I_p) --> (32*1.5^4*0.5)/(10^7*8.5E-08)

Evaluating ... ...

C_p = 95.2941176470588

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

95.2941176470588 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

95.2941176470588 ≈ 95.29412 <-- Collapse Prevention Level

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
