Calculation of Strut Stiffness

This document contains a calculation sheet for determining the strut stiffness of structural members used in the Mei Ho House project. It provides an illustration of the strut stiffness formula and applies it to calculate the stiffness of a 254 x 254 x 73 kg/m UC strut with an area of 92.9 cm^2, maximum spacing of 3 m, effective length of 2.667 m, and actual length of 8 m at an angle of 0 degrees to the wall. The calculated stiffness is 238,056 kN/m.
