a) Section properties of pipe
Section area A 292.8 mm²
Py 275 N/mm²
r 16.5 mm
b) check compression
Max compression = √(Total vertical force² - Total load per leg² ) 10347.8476765 N
c) Check Tension
Max.Tension Force (Refer Table 1) 14232.87 N
Tension capacity of section (Py x Area) 80520 N > Maximum tension force OK
d) Check Shear
Max.Shear Force 9772.97
Shear Capacity Force = k² x section area x Py 31958.39 N > Maximum shear force OK
5) Soil Stress
Try 50 x 100 timber as sole plate and assuming soil bearing capacity of 7.5 tones/m² (or=7500 kg/m²)
