Wall Thickness given Deflection Formula Elements

Variables
Wall Thickness
Wall Thickness is the distance between the inner and outer surfaces of a hollow object or structure. It measures the thickness of the material comprising the walls.
Symbol: t
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Uniform Lateral Load
Uniform Lateral Load are live loads that are applied parallel to the member uiformly.
Symbol: w
Measurement: ForceUnit: kN
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Height of the Wall
Height of the Wall can be described as the height of the member(wall).
Symbol: H
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Modulus of Elasticity of Wall Material
The Modulus of Elasticity of Wall Material is a quantity that measures an object or substance's resistance to being deformed elastically when a stress is applied to it.
Symbol: E
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Deflection of Wall
The Deflection of Wall is the degree to which a structural element is displaced under a load (due to its deformation).
Symbol: δ
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Length of Wall
Length of Wall is the measurement of a wall from one end to another. It is the larger of the two or the highest of three dimensions of geometrical shapes or objects.
Symbol: L
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

FAQs on Wall Thickness given Deflection

What is the formula to find Wall Thickness given Deflection?
The formula of Wall Thickness given Deflection is expressed as Wall Thickness = ((1.5*Uniform Lateral Load*Height of the Wall)/(Modulus of Elasticity of Wall Material*Deflection of Wall))*((Height of the Wall/Length of Wall)^3+(Height of the Wall/Length of Wall)). Here is an example- 0.001431 = ((1.5*75000*15)/(20000000*Deflection_due_to_Moments_on_Arch_Dam))*((15/25)^3+(15/25)).
How to calculate Wall Thickness given Deflection?
With Uniform Lateral Load (w), Height of the Wall (H), Modulus of Elasticity of Wall Material (E), Deflection of Wall (δ) & Length of Wall (L) we can find Wall Thickness given Deflection using the formula - Wall Thickness = ((1.5*Uniform Lateral Load*Height of the Wall)/(Modulus of Elasticity of Wall Material*Deflection of Wall))*((Height of the Wall/Length of Wall)^3+(Height of the Wall/Length of Wall)).
What are the other ways to Calculate Wall Thickness?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Wall Thickness-
  • Wall Thickness=((4*Concentrated Load on Wall)/(Modulus of Elasticity of Wall Material*Deflection of Wall))*((Height of the Wall/Length of Wall)^3+0.75*(Height of the Wall/Length of Wall))OpenImg
  • Wall Thickness=(Concentrated Load on Wall/(Modulus of Elasticity of Wall Material*Deflection of Wall))*((Height of the Wall/Length of Wall)^3+3*(Height of the Wall/Length of Wall))OpenImg
Can the Wall Thickness given Deflection be negative?
No, the Wall Thickness given Deflection, measured in Length cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Wall Thickness given Deflection?
Wall Thickness given Deflection is usually measured using the Meter[m] for Length. Millimeter[m], Kilometer[m], Decimeter[m] are the few other units in which Wall Thickness given Deflection can be measured.
