SM = Sc*(1+6*e/b)
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Maximum Stress for Section - (Measured in Pascal) - Maximum Stress for Section is the highest stress allowed without any failure.
Unit Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - The Unit Stress is due to loading P as if it acted through the center of gravity.
Eccentricity of Column - (Measured in Meter) - The Eccentricity of Column is the distance between the middle of the column's cross-section and the eccentric load.
Rectangular Cross-Section Width - (Measured in Meter) - The Rectangular Cross-Section Width is a measurement from side to side.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Unit Stress: 25 Pascal --> 25 Pascal No Conversion Required
Eccentricity of Column: 35 Millimeter --> 0.035 Meter (Check conversion here)
Rectangular Cross-Section Width: 250 Millimeter --> 0.25 Meter (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
SM = Sc*(1+6*e/b) --> 25*(1+6*0.035/0.25)
Evaluating ... ...
SM = 46
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
46 Pascal --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
46 Pascal <-- Maximum Stress for Section

Maximum Stress for Rectangular Cross-Section Column Formula

Maximum Stress for Section = Unit Stress*(1+6*Eccentricity of Column/Rectangular Cross-Section Width)
SM = Sc*(1+6*e/b)

Definition of Eccentric Loading on Columns

When short blocks are loaded eccentrically in compression or in tension, that is, not through the centre of gravity (cg), a combination of axial and bending stress results. The maximum unit stress (Sm) is the algebraic sum of these two unit stresses.

Are columns in tension or compression?

The load applied to a column would place the column in compression; conversely, a load hanging from a rod would place the rod in tension. Strain is the deformation of a structural member because of stress within the member.
