Effective Area Calculation, Aeff

(i) Assuming no overlap
Aeff = (D+2K)(B+2K) - (D-2K-2T)(B-t)
= (DB + 2BK + 2DK + 4K2) - (DB - 2BK - 2BT - Dt + 2tK + 2Tt)
= 4K2 + (2D + 4B - 2t) K + (2BT + Dt - 2Tt)
4K2 + K ( Per col ) + Acol
Where :
Per col = (2D + 4B -2t) Column perimeter
= ( 2 x 260.3 + 4 x 256.3 - 2 x 10.3 )
Acol = (2BT + Dt - 2Tt) Column Area
= ( 2 x 256.3 x 17.3 + 260.3 x 10.3 - 2 x 17.3 x 10.3 )
Equating the effective area, Aeff to the required area, Areq (from check 1) gives
