Shear Strength
Shear Strength is the strength of a material against structural failure when the material fails in shear.
Symbol: τs
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Shear Stress
Shear Stress is force tending to cause deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress.
Symbol: 𝜏
Measurement: StressUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Angle of Inclination
Angle of Inclination is the angle measured from the horizontal surface of the wall or any object.
Symbol: I
Measurement: AngleUnit: °

tan
The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle.
Syntax: tan(Angle)
atan
Inverse tan is used to calculate the angle by applying the tangent ratio of the angle, which is the opposite side divided by the adjacent side of the right triangle.
Syntax: atan(Number)
