Nominal Strength using Allowable Design Strength Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Nominal Strength = Safety Factor for Design Strength*Allowable Design Strength
R_n = f_s*R_a
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Nominal Strength - (Measured in Pascal) - Nominal Strength is defined as the capacity of the member or structure to resist the effect of loads.
Safety Factor for Design Strength - The Safety Factor for Design Strength expresses how much stronger a system is than it needs to be for an intended load.
Allowable Design Strength - (Measured in Pascal) - Allowable Design Strength is the maximum strength for designing a member.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Safety Factor for Design Strength: 1.8 --> No Conversion Required
Allowable Design Strength: 833.33 Megapascal --> 833330000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R_n = f_s*R_a --> 1.8*833330000

Evaluating ... ...

R_n = 1499994000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1499994000 Pascal -->1499.994 Megapascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1499.994 Megapascal <-- Nominal Strength

(Calculation completed in 00.006 seconds)

What is Nominal Strength?

The Nominal strength is defined as the capacity of a structure or component to resist the effects of loads, as determined by computations using specified material strengths (such as yield strength, Fy, or ultimate. strength, Fu), etc.

How to Calculate Nominal Strength using Allowable Design Strength?

Nominal Strength using Allowable Design Strength calculator uses Nominal Strength = Safety Factor for Design Strength*Allowable Design Strength to calculate the Nominal Strength, The Nominal Strength using Allowable Design Strength can be used to calculate the design strength of a structure as this is the maximum load that is divided by a factor of safety to determine the load that a structure will be designed for. Nominal Strength is denoted by R_n symbol.

How to calculate Nominal Strength using Allowable Design Strength using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Nominal Strength using Allowable Design Strength, enter Safety Factor for Design Strength (f_s) & Allowable Design Strength (R_a) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Nominal Strength using Allowable Design Strength calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.0009 = 1.8*833330000.
