Actual Bearing Pressure under Plate Formula Elements

Variables
Actual Bearing Pressure
Actual Bearing Pressure is the exact bearing capacity of the given structure, in simple words it is the ratio of the applied load to the contact area.
Symbol: fp
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Concentrated Load of Reaction
Concentrated Load of Reaction is the reaction force that is assumed to act at a single point on the structure.
Symbol: R
Measurement: ForceUnit: kN
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Width of Plate
Width of Plate is one of the surface dimensions of a flat, solid plate, typically measured in millimeters or inches. It is one of the larger surface dimensions, while thickness is smaller dimension.
Symbol: B
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Bearing or Plate Length
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.
Symbol: N
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Actual Bearing Pressure under Plate?

Actual Bearing Pressure under Plate evaluator uses Actual Bearing Pressure = Concentrated Load of Reaction/(Width of Plate*Bearing or Plate Length) to evaluate the Actual Bearing Pressure, The Actual Bearing Pressure Under Plate formula is defined as the original bearing capacity of the plate. Typically, the pressure load is divided by the area and here, width * minimum length makes the area of the plate. Actual Bearing Pressure is denoted by fp symbol.
