Formula Used

Slenderness of Web and Flange = ((((Concentrated Load of Reaction*Clear Distance between Flanges)/(6800*Web Thickness^3))-1)/0.4)^(1/3)
r_wf = ((((R*h)/(6800*t_w^3))-1)/0.4)^(1/3)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Slenderness of Web and Flange - Slenderness of Web and Flange of a structural element is a measure of its susceptibility to buckling under compressive stress.
Concentrated Load of Reaction - (Measured in Kilonewton) - Concentrated Load of Reaction is the reaction force that is assumed to act at a single point on the structure.
Clear Distance between Flanges - (Measured in Meter) - Clear Distance between Flanges refers to the distance between the two endpoints of the flange. That is the height of the web including fillets.
Web Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Web Thickness is the thickness of the web section in the member of I section.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Concentrated Load of Reaction: 235 Kilonewton --> 235 Kilonewton No Conversion Required
Clear Distance between Flanges: 122 Millimeter --> 0.122 Meter (Check conversion here)
Web Thickness: 100 Millimeter --> 0.1 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

r_wf = ((((R*h)/(6800*t_w^3))-1)/0.4)^(1/3) --> ((((235*0.122)/(6800*0.1^3))-1)/0.4)^(1/3)

Evaluating ... ...

r_wf = 2.00336443515364

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.00336443515364 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.00336443515364 ≈ 2.003364 <-- Slenderness of Web and Flange

What are Flange and Web Slenderness?

The Web slenderness and flange slenderness varied from a fairly compact range to highly slender values. The optimized values for flange and web slenderness were determined for each unbraced length ratio and a relationship between unbraced length and optimum flange slenderness values was established.

What is Web Crippling?

Web Crippling is similar to web buckling, but it happens in the web of the beam when it's subjected to compressive stress. The reaction at support developed due to high concentrated point load on the beam leads to the development of high compressive stresses in the thin web close to the upper flange or lower flange. As a result of this, the thin web may develop a fold at a place close to the flange and this is called web crippling.
