Depth of Stiffener Lip Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Depth of Stiffener Lip = 2.8*Thickness of Steel Compression Element*((Flat Width Ratio)^2-144)^(1/6)
d = 2.8*t*((w_t)^2-144)^(1/6)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Depth of Stiffener Lip - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Stiffener Lip is the overall distance of the extra lip given for the member in order to stiffen the structure.
Thickness of Steel Compression Element - (Measured in Meter) - The Thickness of Steel Compression Element is the thickness of element or plate.
Flat Width Ratio - Flat Width Ratio is the ratio of width w of a single flat element to the thickness t of the element.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Thickness of Steel Compression Element: 30 Millimeter --> 0.03 Meter (Check conversion here)
Flat Width Ratio: 13 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d = 2.8*t*((w_t)^2-144)^(1/6) --> 2.8*0.03*((13)^2-144)^(1/6)

Evaluating ... ...

d = 0.143637979520843

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.143637979520843 Meter -->143.637979520843 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

143.637979520843 ≈ 143.638 Millimeter <-- Depth of Stiffener Lip

What are the types of Cold Form Structures?

The Flat compression elements of cold-formed structural members are classified as stiffened and unstiffened. Stiffened compression elements have both edges parallel to the direction of stress stiffened by a web, flange, or stiffening lip.

How to Calculate Depth of Stiffener Lip?

Depth of Stiffener Lip calculator uses Depth of Stiffener Lip = 2.8*Thickness of Steel Compression Element*((Flat Width Ratio)^2-144)^(1/6) to calculate the Depth of Stiffener Lip, The Depth of Stiffener Lip is defined as the overall depth of simple lip bent at right angles. The performance of unstiffened elements could be substantially improved by introducing stiffeners (such as a lip). Depth of Stiffener Lip is denoted by d symbol.

How to calculate Depth of Stiffener Lip using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Depth of Stiffener Lip, enter Thickness of Steel Compression Element (t) & Flat Width Ratio (w_t) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Depth of Stiffener Lip calculation can be explained with given input values -> 143638 = 2.8*0.03*((13)^2-144)^(1/6).

FAQ

What is Depth of Stiffener Lip?

The Depth of Stiffener Lip is defined as the overall depth of simple lip bent at right angles. The performance of unstiffened elements could be substantially improved by introducing stiffeners (such as a lip) and is represented as d = 2.8*t*((w_t)^2-144)^(1/6) or Depth of Stiffener Lip = 2.8*Thickness of Steel Compression Element*((Flat Width Ratio)^2-144)^(1/6). The Thickness of Steel Compression Element is the thickness of element or plate & Flat Width Ratio is the ratio of width w of a single flat element to the thickness t of the element.
