Bearing Pressure given Plate Thickness 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.
Minimum Plate Thickness
Minimum Plate Thickness is the distance between the top and bottom surfaces of a flat, solid plate. This distance is typically measured in millimeters or inches.
Symbol: t
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Limiting Size
Limiting Size is the larger value among 0.5(N -0.95d) and 0.5(B -0.80b), where N is the plate length, B is the minimum width of plate, d is the depth of column and b is the width of flange.
Symbol: p
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
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.
