timber columns

effective column length

Le = Ke L

1 ) Short Columns
when : Le / d <= 11
fc' = fc

2 ) Intermediate Columns
when : Le / d > 11, lessthan k
where : k = 0.671 sqrt(E/fc)
fc' = fc [ 1 - ( 1 / 3 ) ( Le / k d )^4 ]

3 ) Long Columns
when : Le / d > k
fc' = ( 0.30 E ) / ( Le / d )^2

ke = 1
L= 3
b= 0.15 m
d= 0.15 m
Le = 3 m
d= 0.15 m
E= 7310 Mpa
fc = 9.56 Mpa Therefore, its safe to use 150 mm x
150 mm for column A to P of Apitong
Le / d = 20 with 80 % grade
k= 18.55463
