Functions
Limiting Laterally Unbraced Length
Limiting Laterally Unbraced Length is the maximum unbraced length of a section which have full plastic flexural strength or full plastic bending capacity.
Symbol: Lp
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Radius of Gyration about Minor Axis
Radius of Gyration about Minor Axis is the root mean square distance of the object's parts from either its center of mass or a given minor axis, depending on the relevant application.
Symbol: ry
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Flange Yield Stress
Flange Yield Stress is the stress at which a flange (the flat or projecting rim on a beam or column, typically in I-beams or H-beams) in a steel structure begins to deform plastically.
Symbol: Fyf
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)
