Calculation of Vertical Post: Stress Diagram

The document provides calculations to determine the size of vertical posts needed to support walls of varying lengths and widths. It calculates tensile forces based on stress diagrams and dimensions, then determines the required timber area and selects a post size to meet the needed area. It also includes calculations for a horizontal post, determining tensile forces based on wall geometry, weight, and material strengths. Dimensions, forces, areas, and selected post sizes are provided for three wall examples of different lengths and openings.

a) Check against shear strength :

Tac = Vb/Plinth area


plinth area= 5.6404
Tac = 0.060
Fca= Total weight /Cross area of base
Cross sectional area= 3.5814
Fca= 0.21 Mpa

To = 0.11 Mpa (UNESCO,2016)

Tper = 0.75(0.75To+Fca)/1.5
0.15 > direct shear (0.065)Hence Safe

b) Check against direct compressive stress


From Flat jack test Pujarimath , compressive strenght = 0.368
Therefore , Vertical direct compressive (0.23) is smaller than permissible compresive( 0.368Hence safe

c) Check against combine direct and bending stress
