Maximum Steel Stress as per AISC Specifications Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Stress = (Dead Load Moment+Live Load Moment)/Section Modulus of Steel Beam
σ_max = (M_D+M_L)/S_s
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Maximum Stress is the stress that material or section withstands before its fracture.
Dead Load Moment - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Dead Load Moment is the moment generated due to dead load acting to member.
Live Load Moment - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Live Load Moment is the moment generated due to live load acting to member.
Section Modulus of Steel Beam - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Section Modulus of Steel Beam is a geometric property for a given cross-section used to design steel beams or flexural members.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dead Load Moment: 280 Newton Millimeter --> 0.28 Newton Meter (Check conversion here)
Live Load Moment: 115 Newton Millimeter --> 0.115 Newton Meter (Check conversion here)
Section Modulus of Steel Beam: 150 Cubic Millimeter --> 1.5E-07 Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

σ_max = (M_D+M_L)/S_s --> (0.28+0.115)/1.5E-07

Evaluating ... ...

σ_max = 2633333.33333333

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2633333.33333333 Pascal -->2.63333333333333 Newton per Square Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

2.63333333333333 ≈ 2.633333 Newton per Square Millimeter <-- Maximum Stress

What is Maximum Stress?

The Maximum Stress can be defined as the maximum stress that the specimen can withstand is called the maximum strength of that particular material.

What is Live and Dead Loads?

The Dead Load is defined as the self-weight of the structural member whereas Live Load is defined as the weight of movable objects in the structural member.

How to Calculate Maximum Steel Stress as per AISC Specifications?

Maximum Steel Stress as per AISC Specifications calculator uses Maximum Stress = (Dead Load Moment+Live Load Moment)/Section Modulus of Steel Beam to calculate the Maximum Stress, The Maximum Steel Stress as per AISC Specifications formula is defined as the shortcut method permitted by AISC specifications assumes that the steel beam carries both live and dead loads and compensates for this by permitting a higher stress in the steel. Maximum Stress is denoted by σ_max symbol.
