FORMULAS TO REMEMBER Area: [units = inch2] Area of a Rectangle = b d Area of a Circle = ( r2 Area of a Triangle = 1 b h 2 Area of a Bolt, = ( d2 [where d = diameter] Cable, Tube, Bar 4 Equilibrium: (M = 0; (V = 0; (H = 0 Force: {units = kips pounds} F = M [Force = Moment ] d distance RETAINING WALL DESIGN {units = kips pounds} F = w h2 [Force exerted on the = (fluid pressure provided) X (height)2] 2 Retaining Wall 2 Remember: pcf = psf [pounds per cubic feet = pounds per square foot] ft one foot width of wall SHEAR DIAGRAM SHEAR FORCE {units = kips pounds} R = V = w l [Shear Resisting Force= (uniform load per ft) X (distance)] 2 2 BEARING TYPE SHEAR CONNECTIONS {units = kips pounds} R = Fv Abolts [Resistance = (allow.shear stress) X (A of bolt cross sections. Remember to Shear Failure to multiply A by total # of bolts)] Remember: Stress = P Therefore, P = Stress X Area A Moment: {units = (k ft); (lb ft); (k in); (lb in)} TAKING MOMENTS ABOUT A POINT TO FIND EQUILIBRIUM M = Fd [Moment = force X distance] UNIFORM LOAD {units = (k ft); (lb ft); (lb in)} M = w L2 [Moment = uniform load X (length)2] 8 8 POINT/CONCENTRATED LOAD AT THE CENTER OF A MEMBER M = P L [Moment = Point Load X length] 4 4 Remember: w l 2 + P L when Point Uniform loads combine. 4 Watch out: There are various types of Point loads. ECCENTRIC LOAD {units = (k ft); (lb ft); (lb in)} M = Pe [Moment = force X eccentricity] {Same as M=Fd} Section Modulus: [units = inch3] S = b d 2 in3 [Section Modulus] 6 S = M [Section Modulus = Moment in Inches Fb Bending Stress] Watch out: Both Moment Stress should be in # or kips. Remember: For a Roof Beam, S = M
