Max arch compression (from last slide) C = 103 k

Check allowable buckling stress


Radius of gyration
r = (2+ i2)1/2/4 = (162 + 152)1/2/4 r = 5.48
Unbraced length (between strands)
KL = 1.1 x164 / 7 KL = 26
Slenderness ratio
KL/r = 26 x 12 / 5.48 KL/r = 57
Allowable buckling stress (AISC table) Fa=23 ksi
Arch cross section
A =(2 -i2)/4= (162 -15.52)/4 A = 12 in2
Max. arch stress
fa= C/A= 103 / 12 fa = 8.6 ksi
Check fa Fa 8.6<23, OK
Max strand force
T ~ H = 83 T~ 83 k
Required metallic strand area
Am = T/Fa = 83 / 70 Am = 1.2 in2
Gross strand area (70% metallic)
Ag = Am/07 = 1.2/0.7 Ag = 1.7 in2
Strand size
A = r2 r2 =A/ = 2r =2(A/)1/2 = 2(A/)1/2 = 2(1.7/)1/2 = 1.47 Use 1
