Thickness of Column Web given Cross-Sectional Area of Column Web Stiffeners Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Column Web Thickness = (Computed Force-(Cross Sectional Plate Area*Stiffener Yield Stress))/(Column Yield Stress*(Flange Thickness+5*Distance Between Flange and Web))
t_wc = (P_bf-(A_cs*F_yst))/(F_yc*(t_f+5*K))
This formula uses 7 Variables

Variables Used

Column Web Thickness - (Measured in Millimeter) - Column Web Thickness is the smallest dimension measured perpendicular to height of column web.
Computed Force - (Measured in Kilonewton) - Computed Force delivered by the flange of a moment connection plate multiplied by 5/3 (dead and live loads only) and 4/3 (live and dead loads in conjunction with wind & earthquake forces).
Cross Sectional Plate Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross Sectional Plate Area is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional shape is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.
Stiffener Yield Stress - (Measured in Megapascal) - Stiffener Yield Stress is the minimum stress at which a stiffener will undergo permanent deformation or plastic flow without a significant increase in load.
Column Yield Stress - (Measured in Megapascal) - Column Yield Stress is the minimum stress at which a column will undergo permanent deformation or plastic flow without a significant increase in load.
Flange Thickness - (Measured in Millimeter) - The Flange Thickness is the thickness of a flange in a protruded ridge, lip or rim, either external or internal of a beam such as an I-beam or a T-beam.
Distance Between Flange and Web - (Measured in Millimeter) - Distance Between Flange and Web is the measured distance from the outer face of the flange to the web toe of its fillet if the section is in rolled shape.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Computed Force: 5000 Kilonewton --> 5000 Kilonewton No Conversion Required
Cross Sectional Plate Area: 20 Square Meter --> 20 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Stiffener Yield Stress: 50 Megapascal --> 50 Megapascal No Conversion Required
Column Yield Stress: 50 Megapascal --> 50 Megapascal No Conversion Required
Flange Thickness: 15 Millimeter --> 15 Millimeter No Conversion Required
Distance Between Flange and Web: 5 Millimeter --> 5 Millimeter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_wc = (P_bf-(A_cs*F_yst))/(F_yc*(t_f+5*K)) --> (5000-(20*50))/(50*(15+5*5))

Evaluating ... ...

t_wc = 2

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.002 Meter -->2 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

2 Millimeter <-- Column Web Thickness
