Ultimate Load for Bridges using Structural Carbon Steel when Columns are Pinned Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Ultimate Load = (25600-0.566*Critical Slenderness Ratio^2)*Section Area of Column
P_u = (25600-0.566*L|r^2)*A
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Ultimate Load - (Measured in Pound) - The ultimate load is the absolute maximum magnitude of load that a component or system can sustain, limited only by failure. It is the limit Load multiplied by a prescribed Safety Factor of 1.5.
Critical Slenderness Ratio - The critical slenderness ratio is the ratio of the column length in meters, millimeters, and inches to the least radius of gyration in meters, millimeters and inches. The value ranges from 120-160.
Section Area of Column - (Measured in Square Meter) - The section area of column 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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Critical Slenderness Ratio: 140 --> No Conversion Required
Section Area of Column: 81 Square Inch --> 0.0522579600004181 Square Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_u = (25600-0.566*L|r^2)*A --> (25600-0.566*140^2)*0.0522579600004181

Evaluating ... ...

P_u = 758.074870950065

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

343.856977359292 Kilogram -->758.074870950065 Pound (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

758.074870950065 ≈ 758.0749 Pound <-- Ultimate Load

What is Ultimate Load?

It the maximum load up which when the load is reached to ultimate load the plastic strain will be developed in material. After ultimate load material cannot be able to take the extra load. If the load is developed in material after ultimate load the material will fail.

Define Carbon Steel

Carbon steel is a steel with carbon content from about 0.05-2.1% by weight. The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) states:
- no minimum content is specified or required for chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, zirconium, or any other element to be added to obtain a desired alloying effect,
- the specified minimum for copper does not exceed 0.40%,
- or the maximum content specified for any of the following elements does not exceed the percentages noted: manganese 1.65%, silicon 0.60%; copper 0.60%
