Web Thickness for Given Stress Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Web Thickness = Concentrated Load of Reaction/(Compressive Stress*(Bearing or Plate Length+5*Distance from Flange to Web Fillet))
t_w = R/(f_a*(N+5*k))
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Web Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Web Thickness is the thickness of the web section in the member of I section.
Concentrated Load of Reaction - (Measured in Newton) - Concentrated Load of Reaction is the reaction force that is assumed to act at a single point on the structure.
Compressive Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Compressive stress is the deformation of a material, leading to a reduction in its volume. It is caused by an externally applied force and is experienced by a material when it is under compression.
Bearing or Plate Length - (Measured in Meter) - Bearing or Plate Length is the length along the beam under which a high concentration of stresses due to concentrated loads is transferred to the supporting structure below.
Distance from Flange to Web Fillet - (Measured in Meter) - The Distance from Flange to Web Fillet is the total distance from the outer face of the flange to the web toe of the fillet.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Concentrated Load of Reaction: 235 Kilonewton --> 235000 Newton (Check conversion here)
Compressive Stress: 10.431 Megapascal --> 10431000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Bearing or Plate Length: 160 Millimeter --> 0.16 Meter (Check conversion here)
Distance from Flange to Web Fillet: 18 Millimeter --> 0.018 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_w = R/(f_a*(N+5*k)) --> 235000/(10431000*(0.16+5*0.018))

Evaluating ... ...

t_w = 0.0901160003834723

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0901160003834723 Meter -->90.1160003834723 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

90.1160003834723 ≈ 90.116 Millimeter <-- Web Thickness

What is Buckling of A Column?

The Buckling of Columns is a form of deformation as a result of axial- compression forces. This leads to bending of the column, due to the instability of the column. Length, strength and other factors determine how or if a column will buckle.

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.
