Calculate Bearing Strength for Wood Bearing at an Angle to Grain:
 
Calculation:
Designer/Checker:
   
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)
 
AWC 2012 NDS Manual For Wood Construction 3.10-1, Bearing at Angle to Grain.
The following is for calculating the adjusted bearing capacity at an angle to grain for wood member.
 
Reference design value for compression perpendicular to grain (Fc1 - psi or kPa)
Reference design value for compression parallel to grain (Fc - psi or kPa)
Angle between direction of load and direction of grain, longitudinal axis of member, (Ang -degrees)
Cross section area of member (A - sq in or sq mm)
Wet service factor (Cm)
Temperature factor (Ct)
Incising factor (Ci)
Bearing area factor (Cb)
Load duration factor (Cd - for ASD only)
Size factor (Cf)
Time effect factor (TEF - for LRFD only)
