FAQ

What is Nominal Bearing Strength of the Concrete?

The Nominal Bearing Strength of the Concrete formula is defined as the compressive strength and the ratio of the total surface area to the load bearing area and is represented as f_p=f'_c*0.85*sqrt(A_sc/A_b) or Nominal bearing strength=Compressive strength*0.85*sqrt(Area of supporting concrete/Area of base plate). Compressive strength is is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to reduce size, as opposed to which withstands loads tending to elongate, Area of supporting concrete is geometrically similar to and concentric with the loaded area and Area of base plate is the area of flat supporting plate or frame at the base of a column.

How to calculate Nominal Bearing Strength of the Concrete?

The Nominal Bearing Strength of the Concrete formula is defined as the compressive strength and the ratio of the total surface area to the load bearing area is calculated using Nominal bearing strength=Compressive strength*0.85*sqrt(Area of supporting concrete/Area of base plate). To calculate Nominal Bearing Strength of the Concrete, you need Compressive strength (f'_c), Area of supporting concrete (A_sc) and Area of base plate (A_b). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Compressive strength, Area of supporting concrete and Area of base plate and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
