Minimum Eccentricity Formula Elements

Variables
Minimum Eccentricity
Minimum Eccentricity is the shortest distance from the center of gravity of the column section to the center of gravity of the applied load.
Symbol: emin
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Effective Length of Column
The Effective Length of Column can be defined as the length of an equivalent pin-ended column having the same load-carrying capacity as the member under consideration.
Symbol: L
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Least Lateral Dimension
Least Lateral Dimension of the column is the smallest dimension on the sides of the column. Its generally taken as the breath of the column.
Symbol: b
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Minimum Eccentricity?

Minimum Eccentricity evaluator uses Minimum Eccentricity = (Effective Length of Column/500)+(Least Lateral Dimension/30) to evaluate the Minimum Eccentricity, The Minimum Eccentricity formula is defined as the shortest distance from the center of gravity of the column section to the center of gravity of the applied load. In order to ensure the safety of the column we should consider a minimum value of eccentricity. Minimum Eccentricity is denoted by emin symbol.

How to evaluate Minimum Eccentricity using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Minimum Eccentricity, enter Effective Length of Column (L) & Least Lateral Dimension (b) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Minimum Eccentricity

What is the formula to find Minimum Eccentricity?
