Introduction
“The Section Properties Calculator” provide calculations for the area, shear area, moment of inertia, section modulus, cross-section area, and radius of gyration. and also allowable load for conceptual design
Alllowable Load
– allowable stress based on AISC ASD Manual
The Section Properties Calculator provides an estimate of the allowable load, which is intended primarily for conceptual design and preliminary sizing of the section. It doesn’t account for factors such as the slenderness ratio, which can significantly influence the allowable load in compact and non-compact sections. Moreover, it does not consider the overall depth multiplied by the web thickness for shear design.
- Axial tension = 0.6 fy (fy is the yield stress)
- Bending tension or compression = 0.66 fy
- Shear stress = 0.4 fy
You must recalculate the allowable stress for detailed design, taking into consideration your specific design requirements
Units : Calculations should be independent of the unit system, whether it’s SI or US units. They should accommodate Length (L), Mass (M) or Force (F), and Time (T)
