Length of Bearing if Column Load is at Distance of Half Beam Depth evaluator uses Bearing or Plate Length = (Concentrated Load of Reaction/((34*Web Thickness^(3/2))*sqrt(Yield Stress of Steel*Flange Thickness))-1)*Depth of Section/(3*(Web Thickness/Flange Thickness)^1.5) to evaluate the Bearing or Plate Length, The Length of Bearing if Column Load is at Distance of Half Beam Depth formula is defined as the minimum length required for the bearing plate used for columns to protect the structure from web buckling and yielding. Bearing or Plate Length is denoted by N symbol.
How to evaluate Length of Bearing if Column Load is at Distance of Half Beam Depth using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Length of Bearing if Column Load is at Distance of Half Beam Depth, enter Concentrated Load of Reaction (R), Web Thickness (tw), Yield Stress of Steel (Fy), Flange Thickness (tf) & Depth of Section (D) and hit the calculate button.
