Maximum Stress for Rectangular Cross-Section Column Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Stress for Section = Unit Stress*(1+6*Eccentricity of Column/Rectangular Cross-Section Width)
S_M = S_c*(1+6*e/b)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Stress for Section - (Measured in Pascal) - Maximum Stress for Section is the highest stress allowed without any failure.
Unit Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - The Unit Stress is due to loading P as if it acted through the center of gravity.
Eccentricity of Column - (Measured in Meter) - The Eccentricity of Column is the distance between the middle of the column's cross-section and the eccentric load.
Rectangular Cross-Section Width - (Measured in Meter) - The Rectangular Cross-Section Width is a measurement from side to side.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Unit Stress: 25 Pascal --> 25 Pascal No Conversion Required
Eccentricity of Column: 35 Millimeter --> 0.035 Meter (Check conversion here)
Rectangular Cross-Section Width: 250 Millimeter --> 0.25 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S_M = S_c*(1+6*e/b) --> 25*(1+6*0.035/0.25)

Evaluating ... ...

S_M = 46

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

46 Pascal --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

46 Pascal <-- Maximum Stress for Section

Definition of Eccentric Loading on Columns

When short blocks are loaded eccentrically in compression or in tension, that is, not through the centre of gravity (cg), a combination of axial and bending stress results. The maximum unit stress (Sm) is the algebraic sum of these two unit stresses.

Are columns in tension or compression?

The load applied to a column would place the column in compression; conversely, a load hanging from a rod would place the rod in tension. Strain is the deformation of a structural member because of stress within the member.
