Reduction Factor given Number of Connectors in Bridges Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Reduction Factor = Slab Force/(No of Connector in Bridge*Ultimate Shear Connector Stress)
Φ = P_{on slab}/(N*S_ultimate)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Reduction Factor - Reduction Factor is constant term used as factor for load calculation.
Slab Force - (Measured in Newton) - Slab Force at maximum positive moments.
No of Connector in Bridge - No of Connector in Bridge is total number of joints.
Ultimate Shear Connector Stress - (Measured in Newton) - Ultimate Shear Connector Stress is the maximum strength in shear.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Slab Force: 245 Kilonewton --> 245000 Newton (Check conversion here)
No of Connector in Bridge: 15 --> No Conversion Required
Ultimate Shear Connector Stress: 20 Kilonewton --> 20000 Newton (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Φ = P_{on slab}/(N*S_ultimate) --> 245000/(15*20000)

Evaluating ... ...

Φ = 0.816666666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.816666666666667 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.816666666666667 ≈ 0.816667 <-- Reduction Factor

(Calculation completed in 00.006 seconds)
