Diameter of Wood Screw given Total Allowable Lateral Load Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Diameter of Wood Screw = sqrt(Total Allowable Load/Coefficient Dependent on Group Number of Wood)
D_screw = sqrt(P/C)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Diameter of Wood Screw - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Wood Screw being penetrated into side grain of seasoned wood that remains dry.
Total Allowable Load - (Measured in Newton) - Total Allowable Load is the capacity or can say the maximum load allowed.
Coefficient Dependent on Group Number of Wood - Coefficient Dependent on Group Number of Wood is a multiplier or factor that measures a particular property of the wood.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Allowable Load: 10 Newton --> 10 Newton No Conversion Required
Coefficient Dependent on Group Number of Wood: 4000 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_screw = sqrt(P/C) --> sqrt(10/4000)

Evaluating ... ...

D_screw = 0.05

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.05 Meter -->50 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

50 Millimeter <-- Diameter of Wood Screw

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Diameter of Wood Screw given Total Allowable Lateral Load

Go Diameter of Wood Screw = sqrt(Total Allowable Load/Coefficient Dependent on Group Number of Wood)

Total Allowable Lateral Load for Wood Screws

Go Total Allowable Load = Coefficient Dependent on Group Number of Wood*Diameter of Wood Screw^2

Diameter of Wood Screw given Allowable Load per Inch of Penetration

Go Diameter of Wood Screw = Total Allowable Load/(2850*Specific Gravity of Wood Oven Dry^2)

Allowable Load per inch of Threaded Portion Penetration into Member Receiving Point

Go Total Allowable Load = 2850*Specific Gravity of Wood Oven Dry^2*Diameter of Wood Screw

Diameter of Wood Screw given Total Allowable Lateral Load Formula

Diameter of Wood Screw = sqrt(Total Allowable Load/Coefficient Dependent on Group Number of Wood)
D_screw = sqrt(P/C)

What is Lateral load?

Lateral loads are live loads that are applied parallel to the ground; that is, they are horizontal forces acting on a structure.

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.
