Total Vertical Load for Minimum Intensity in horizontal plane on Buttress Dam evaluator uses Load on Buttress Dams = (Intensity of Normal Stress+((Bending Moment*Distance from Centroidal)/Moment of Inertia of Horizontal Section))*Cross-Sectional Area of Base to evaluate the Load on Buttress Dams, The Total Vertical Load for Minimum Intensity in horizontal plane on Buttress Dam is defined as those forces that are applied perpendicular to the roof or floor system. These loads are in addition to the self weight of the structure which could include the weight of the floor/roof decking and joists, beams, bearing walls, columns, bracing etc. Load on Buttress Dams is denoted by p symbol.
How to evaluate Total Vertical Load for Minimum Intensity in horizontal plane on Buttress Dam using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Total Vertical Load for Minimum Intensity in horizontal plane on Buttress Dam, enter Intensity of Normal Stress (σi), Bending Moment (Mb), Distance from Centroidal (Yt), Moment of Inertia of Horizontal Section (IH) & Cross-Sectional Area of Base (Acs) and hit the calculate button.
