Thickness of Gusset Plate Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Thickness of Gusset Plate?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
Tg=(MGussetPlatefCompressive(h2)6)(1cos(Θ))
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
Tg=(2E+6N*mm161N/mm²(190mm2)6)(1cos(54°))
Next Step Convert Units
Tg=(2011.134N*m1.6E+8Pa(0.19m2)6)(1cos(0.9425rad))
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
Tg=(2011.1341.6E+8(0.192)6)(1cos(0.9425))
Next Step Evaluate
Tg=0.00353216103536523m
Next Step Convert to Output's Unit
Tg=3.53216103536523mm
LAST Step Rounding Answer
Tg=3.5322mm
