What is Design Stress?
Design stress, also known as allowable stress or working stress, is a value that is used in engineering design to represent the maximum stress that a material or structure is expected to experience under normal conditions of use. This value is based on the properties of the material, such as its strength and ductility, as well as the loading conditions and the desired factor of safety. The design stress is used as a limit in design calculations to ensure that the structure or material will not fail under normal conditions. The value of the design stress is typically lower than the maximum strength of the material, to account for variability and uncertainties in the loading conditions and the properties of the material.
How to Calculate Compressive Stress between Bearing Plate and Concrete Foundation?
Compressive Stress between Bearing Plate and Concrete Foundation calculator uses Maximum Compressive Stress = (Total Weight of Vessel/Area between Bearing Plate & Concrete Foundation)+(Maximum Seismic Moment/Section Modulus of Area A) to calculate the Maximum Compressive Stress, The Compressive Stress between Bearing Plate and Concrete Foundation can be determined from the load acting on the structure and the distribution of that load through the foundation and the bearing plate. Maximum Compressive Stress is denoted by fCompressive symbol.
How to calculate Compressive Stress between Bearing Plate and Concrete Foundation using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Compressive Stress between Bearing Plate and Concrete Foundation, enter Total Weight of Vessel (ΣW), Area between Bearing Plate & Concrete Foundation (A), Maximum Seismic Moment (Ms) & Section Modulus of Area A (Z) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Compressive Stress between Bearing Plate and Concrete Foundation calculation can be explained with given input values -> 4.9E-7 = (50000/0.102101)+(4400/15.49758876).
