Project: Bedok North Road

Location: Timber Plank Fencing for Irrigation Tank


Design Element: Timber Plank

Figure:

Material Properties:
Timber Standard = ASTM C1185
Flexural Strength, f = 11 N/mm²
Modulus of Elasticity, E = 5000 N/mm²
Timber Density, γ = 12 N/mm³

Member Sizing:
Section Width, B = 150 mm
Section Thickness, t = 25 mm
Cross Section Area, A = 3750 mm²
Second Moment of Area, I = 195313 mm⁴

Design Loading:
*Assuming 1kN of human load acting at the centre of timber plank
Live Load, PLL = 1.00 kN
Factored Point Load, PULS = 1.50 kN [DL*1.5]
Design Span, L = 1.15 m
Design Bending Moment, MEd = 0.431 kN.m
Timber Bending Stress, σ = 2.208 N/mm² < f = 11N/mm2, OK!!
Factor of Safety, F = 4.98
