Minimum Flange Thickness for Symmetrical Flexural Compact Section for LFD of Bridges Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Flange Minimum Thickness = (Width of Projection of Flange*sqrt(Yield Strength of Steel))/65
t_f = (b^'*sqrt(f_y))/65
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

Flange Minimum Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Flange Minimum Thickness is the minimum thickness of the plates used in the flange.
Width of Projection of Flange - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Projection of Flange is width projected outwarded from flange.
Yield Strength of Steel - (Measured in Pascal) - Yield strength of steel is the level of stress that corresponds to the yield point.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Width of Projection of Flange: 1.25 Millimeter --> 0.00125 Meter (Check conversion here)
Yield Strength of Steel: 250 Megapascal --> 250000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_f = (b^'*sqrt(f_y))/65 --> (0.00125*sqrt(250000000))/65

Evaluating ... ...

t_f = 0.304065159631575

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.304065159631575 Meter -->304.065159631575 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

304.065159631575 ≈ 304.0652 Millimeter <-- Flange Minimum Thickness

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is Flange?

A flange is a protruded ridge, lip or rim, either external or internal, that serves to increase strength for easy attachment/transfer of contact force with another object or for stabilizing and guiding the movements of a machine or its parts (as the inside flange of a rail car or tram wheel, which keep the wheels from running off the rails).

What is Load Factor Design (LFD)?

Load Factor Design (LFD), the first limit-states design approach, was developed as a method for proportioning structural members for multiples of the design loads to satisfy specified structural performance requirements.
