Concrete Compressive Strength given Total Allowable Axial Load Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Characteristic Compressive Strength = ((Total Allowable Load/Gross Area of Column)-(Allowable Stress in Vertical Reinforcement*Area Ratio of Cross Sectional Area to Gross Area))/0.25
fck = ((pT/Ag)-(f's*pg))/0.25
This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Characteristic Compressive Strength - (Measured in Kilonewton per Square Meter) - The characteristic compressive strength is defined as the strength of the concrete below which not more than 5% of the test results are expected to fall.
Total Allowable Load - (Measured in Newton) - Total allowable load is the capacity or can say the maximum load allowed.
Gross Area of Column - (Measured in Square Meter) - Gross Area of Column is the total area enclosed by the column.
Allowable Stress in Vertical Reinforcement - (Measured in Kilonewton per Square Meter) - Allowable Stress in Vertical Reinforcement is equal to 40 percent of the minimum yield strength, but not to exceed 30,000 lb/sq.in(207 MPa).
Area Ratio of Cross Sectional Area to Gross Area - Area Ratio of Cross Sectional Area to Gross Area is the ratio of cross-sectional area of vertical reinforcing steel to gross area of column.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Total Allowable Load: 18.5 Newton --> 18.5 Newton No Conversion Required
Gross Area of Column: 500 Square Millimeter --> 0.0005 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Allowable Stress in Vertical Reinforcement: 4.001 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 4001 Kilonewton per Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Area Ratio of Cross Sectional Area to Gross Area: 8.01 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
fck = ((pT/Ag)-(f's*pg))/0.25 --> ((18.5/0.0005)-(4001*8.01))/0.25
Evaluating ... ...
fck = 19807.96
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
19807960 Pascal -->19.80796 Megapascal (Check conversion here)
FINAL ANSWER
19.80796 Megapascal <-- Characteristic Compressive Strength
