Web Thickness for Given Stress Formula Elements

Variables
Web Thickness
Web Thickness is the thickness of the web section in the member of I section.
Symbol: tw
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Concentrated Load of Reaction
Concentrated Load of Reaction is the reaction force that is assumed to act at a single point on the structure.
Symbol: R
Measurement: ForceUnit: kN
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Compressive Stress
Compressive stress is the deformation of a material, leading to a reduction in its volume. It is caused by an externally applied force and is experienced by a material when it is under compression.
Symbol: fa
Measurement: StressUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Bearing or Plate Length
Bearing or Plate Length is the length along the beam under which a high concentration of stresses due to concentrated loads is transferred to the supporting structure below.
Symbol: N
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Distance from Flange to Web Fillet
The Distance from Flange to Web Fillet is the total distance from the outer face of the flange to the web toe of the fillet.
Symbol: k
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
