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.

Example : Axial Compression: Case 3
Allowable stress are:
• = 15.4 MPa (𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑙 𝑡𝑜 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛).
• 𝐸 = 6.54 x MPa (𝑟𝑒𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑚𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑙𝑢𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦).
• = 6540(1-1.645(0.25))= 3850.425
• = x (1.03)/(1.66) = 2389.119127 MPa
• = 1.0; = 1.0; = 1.0; = 1.15; = 1.0; = 1.0
Solution:
Unfactored applied load; = 6 kN + 10 kN
= 16 kN
Factored applied load; = 1.2 (6 kN ) + 1.6 (10 kN)
= 23.2 kN
Assume column size say 300 x 300 mm (250 x 250 mm)
Effective length factor = 1.0

(a) ASD method

Solving 𝐸𝑚𝑖𝑛:

Solving the adjusted Allowable Compressive stress 𝐹𝑐∗

Solving the allowable compression stress;

Solving the unfactored allowable compression load capacity;
𝑃𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 =

Solving the adjusted modulus of elasticity;

Solving the allowable compression stress ;

Example : Axial Compression: Case 3
Solution:
Solving the LRFD - adjusted load capacity of the column 𝑃𝑟;
𝑃𝑟 =
= (2.209 MPa)(250 x 250)
= 138062.5 N
= 138.0625 kN

Solving the factored load 𝑃𝑢;

𝑃𝑢 = 1.2 (6 kN ) + 1.6 (10 kN)
= 23.2 kN < 𝑃𝑟 = 138.0625 kN Ok

Hence, use 300 x 300 mm (250 x 250 mm)
