Input:
 
 
 
(Note: All input Metric units are converted to English units for the equations below and then the output English units are converted back to Metric)
 
AWS 2012 ASD-LRFD Manual For Engineered Wood Construction M3.8.1, Tension Parallel to the Grain:
The following is for calculating the adjusted tension capacity of wood member.
 
Reference design value for tension (Ft - psi or kPa)
Cross section area of member (A - sq in or sq mm)
Load duration factor (Cd - for ASD only)
Wet service factor (Cm)
Temperature factor (Ct)
Incising factor (Ci)
Size factor (Cf)
Time effect factor (TEF - for LRFD only)
