Timber Column Design: Mark Diameter 200mm

This document summarizes the design of three timber structures: 1) A timber column with a diameter of 200mm that is determined to be safe under both compressive and bending stresses. 2) A timber beam with dimensions of 3"x10" that is verified to have bending and shear stresses below allowable limits. 3) Another timber beam with dimensions adjusted to have reduced loading, which is also shown to have acceptable stresses.

TIMBER COLUMN DESIGN

mark = diameter 200mm

1 Design Parameters
Bending & Tension parallel to grain = 15.6 MPa
Modulus of Elasticity in Bending = 7310 MPa
Compression parallel to the grain = 9.56 MPa
length (L) = 3000 mm
e = 1
d = 141 mm note: assumed square cut from 200mm diameter
b = 141 mm
2 ompressive stress if only axial load is acting

Le = 3000
Le/d = 21.276595745
K = 0.671 * sqrt (E/Fc)
K = 18.554628464
check if long or short column = long column

if long column use:


F'c = (0.3*E) / (Le/d)^2
F'c = 4.844337 Mpa

therefore : safe

3 allowable bending stress


Le = 1.92L
Le = 5760

Cs < Ck

use :
