Total Allowable Lateral Load for Nail or Spike Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Allowable Load for Nails or Spikes = Coefficient Dependent on Group Number of Wood*(Diameter of Spike or Nail)^(3/2)
P_nails = C*(D_spikes)^(3/2)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Total Allowable Load for Nails or Spikes - (Measured in Newton) - Total Allowable Load for Nails or Spikes 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.
Diameter of Spike or Nail - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Spike or Nail in mm are pieces of soft iron or steel or other materials of variable lengths and thicknesses, pointed at one end and with a head at the other serving to join pieces.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coefficient Dependent on Group Number of Wood: 4000 --> No Conversion Required
Diameter of Spike or Nail: 50.00001 Millimeter --> 0.05000001 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_nails = C*(D_spikes)^(3/2) --> 4000*(0.05000001)^(3/2)

Evaluating ... ...

P_nails = 44.7213729664043

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

44.7213729664043 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

44.7213729664043 ≈ 44.72137 Newton <-- Total Allowable Load for Nails or Spikes

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Total Allowable Lateral Load for Nail or Spike

Go Total Allowable Load for Nails or Spikes = Coefficient Dependent on Group Number of Wood*(Diameter of Spike or Nail)^(3/2)

Diameter of Nail or Spike given Allowable Load per Inch of Penetration

Go Diameter of Spike or Nail = Total Allowable Load for Nails or Spikes/(1380*(Specific Gravity of Wood Oven Dry)^(5/2))

Allowable Load per Inch of Penetration into Member Receiving Point

Go Total Allowable Load for Nails or Spikes = 1380*(Specific Gravity of Wood Oven Dry^(5/2))*Diameter of Spike or Nail

Total Allowable Lateral Load for Nail or Spike Formula

Total Allowable Load for Nails or Spikes = Coefficient Dependent on Group Number of Wood*(Diameter of Spike or Nail)^(3/2)
P_nails = C*(D_spikes)^(3/2)

What is allowable strength?

Allowable Strength is the maximum stress (tensile, compressive or bending) that is allowed to be applied on a structural material.

What are wood screws?

Wood screws are handy for quickly building jigs and clamping forms, joining cabinet and furniture parts, mounting hardware and trim, and much more. Screws form strong connections between parts made from solid wood, plywood and other sheet goods without the need for cut joinery.
