Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Yield strength = 250000000
  • Cross-sectional area = 0.005
  • Effective buckling length = 8
  • Radius of gyration = 0.05
  • Design wind pressure = 750
  • Pole height = 10

Expected Result:

  • Adjusted axial load capacity = 118069.72222222

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Adjusted axial load capacity = 118069.72222222 N.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.

Formula / Method

adjusted axial load capacity = 0.85 * yield strength * cross-sectional area * (1 - 0.5 * pow(effective buckling length / (120 * radius of gyration), 2)) * (1 + 0.002 * design wind pressure * pow(pole height, 2) / (yield strength * cross-sectional area))

Adjusted axial load capacity.
