Φ = Mt*K1/(E*t*t)
This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Angle of Rotation - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Rotation is defined as by how many degrees the object is moved with respect to reference line.
Moment acting on Arch Dam - (Measured in Joule) - Moment acting on Arch Dam is an overturning effect (tends to bend or turn the member) created by the force(load) acting on a structural member.
Constant K1 - Constant K1 is defined as the constant depending on b/a ratio and Poisson ratio of an Arch Dam.
Elastic Modulus of Rock - (Measured in Pascal) - Elastic Modulus of Rock is defined as the linear elastic deformation response of rock under deformation.
Horizontal Thickness of an Arch - (Measured in Meter) - Horizontal Thickness of an Arch, also known as the arch thickness or arch rise, refers to the distance between the intrados and the extrados along the horizontal axis.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Moment acting on Arch Dam: 54.5 Newton Meter --> 54.5 Joule (Check conversion here)
Constant K1: 10.01 --> No Conversion Required
Elastic Modulus of Rock: 10.2 Newton per Square Meter --> 10.2 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Horizontal Thickness of an Arch: 1.2 Meter --> 1.2 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Φ = Mt*K1/(E*t*t) --> 54.5*10.01/(10.2*1.2*1.2)
Evaluating ... ...

What is Couple Moment ?

A couple is a system of forces with a resultant moment but no resultant force. A better term is force couple or pure moment. Its effect is to create rotation without translation, or more generally without any acceleration of the centre of mass.
