Allowable Load per Inch of Penetration into Member Receiving Point Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Allowable Load for Nails or Spikes = 1380*(Specific Gravity of Wood Oven Dry^(5/2))*Diameter of Spike or Nail
P_nails = 1380*(G^(5/2))*D_spikes
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Total Allowable Load for Nails or Spikes - (Measured in Newton) - Total Allowable Load for Nails or Spikes is the capacity or can say the maximum load allowed.
Specific Gravity of Wood Oven Dry - Specific gravity of wood oven dry, Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material.
Diameter of Spike or Nail - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Spike or Nail in mm are pieces of soft iron or steel or other materials of variable lengths and thicknesses, pointed at one end and with a head at the other serving to join pieces.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Gravity of Wood Oven Dry: 0.265 --> No Conversion Required
Diameter of Spike or Nail: 50.00001 Millimeter --> 0.05000001 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_nails = 1380*(G^(5/2))*D_spikes --> 1380*(0.265^(5/2))*0.05000001

Evaluating ... ...

P_nails = 2.49438716082263

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.49438716082263 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.49438716082263 ≈ 2.494387 Newton <-- Total Allowable Load for Nails or Spikes

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is allowable strength?

The Allowable Stress or Allowable Strength is the maximum stress (tensile, compressive or bending) that is allowed to be applied on a structural material.

What are wood screws?

Wood screws are handy for quickly building jigs and clamping forms, joining cabinet and furniture parts, mounting hardware and trim, and much more. Screws form strong connections between parts made from solid wood, plywood and other sheet goods without the need for cut joinery.
