Beam Depth for given Column Load Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Depth of Section
The Depth of Section is the depth of the rectangular cross-section of the beam perpendicular to the axis of consideration.
Symbol: D
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.
Web Thickness
Web Thickness is the thickness of the web section in the member of I section.
Symbol: tw
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Flange Thickness
The Flange Thickness is the thickness of a flange in a protruded ridge, lip or rim, either external or internal of a beam such as an I-beam or a T-beam.
Symbol: tf
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
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.
Yield Stress of Steel
Yield Stress of Steel is the stress at which the material begins to deform plastically, meaning it will not return to its original shape when the applied force is removed.
Symbol: Fy
Measurement: StressUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
sqrt
A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.
Syntax: sqrt(Number)
