Troyo Axial Compression

This document provides an example problem for calculating axial compression in a timber column. A 300x300mm square timber column made of Molave wood is loaded with 6kN of dead load and 10kN of live load. The example shows calculations for allowable and ultimate compressive stress using ASD and LRFD methods. It is determined that a 250x250mm column size made of Molave wood with a compression stress parallel to grain of 15.4MPa is appropriate to support the given loads.

SAMPLE PROBLEM
Axial Compression: Case 3
Example:
A 300 x 300 mm square timber column is hinged at both ends with
effective length factor ( = 1.0 ). Column unbraced lengths 𝐿𝑥 = 𝐿𝑦 = 4
m. The square timber column is made-up of Molave with 80% stress
grade. Applying dead load 6 kN and live load 10 kN, determine its
allowable and ultimate compressive stress. Also, determine if the given
design is appropriate with the loadings needed.

• 𝐸 = 6.54 x MPa (𝑟𝑒𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑚𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑙𝑢𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦).
• = 6540(1-1.645(0.25))= 3850.425

• = 1.0; = 1.0; = 1.0; = 1.15; = 1.0; = 1.0
Solution:
Unfactored applied load; = 6 kN + 10 kN
