Flat Width Ratio given Depth of Stiffener Lip Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Flat Width Ratio - Flat Width Ratio is the ratio of width w of a single flat element to the thickness t of the element.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Depth of Stiffener Lip: 143.638 Millimeter --> 0.143638 Meter (Check conversion here)
Thickness of Steel Compression Element: 30 Millimeter --> 0.03 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

w_t = sqrt((d/(2.8*t))^6+144) --> sqrt((0.143638/(2.8*0.03))^6+144)

Evaluating ... ...

w_t = 13.0000008225472

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

13.0000008225472 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

13.0000008225472 ≈ 13 <-- Flat Width Ratio

What are Cold Formed Structures?

The Cold-formed steel structures are steel structural products that are made by bending flat sheets of steel at ambient temperature into shapes which will support more than the flat sheets themselves. They have been produced for more than a century since the first flat sheets of steel were produced by the steel mills.
