Variables
Functions
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.
Computed Force
Computed Force delivered by the flange of a moment connection plate multiplied by 5/3 (dead and live loads only) and 4/3 (live and dead loads in conjunction with wind & earthquake forces).
Symbol: Pbf
Measurement: ForceUnit: kN
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Column Yield Stress
Column Yield Stress is the minimum stress at which a column will undergo permanent deformation or plastic flow without a significant increase in load.
Symbol: Fyc
Measurement: PressureUnit: 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)
