Calculate Bearing Strength for Wood

The following is for calculating the adjusted compression capacity perpendicular to grain for wood member.

Reference design value for compression perpendicular to grain (Fc1)

Cross section area of member (A)

Wet service factor (Cm)

Temperature factor (Ct)

Incising factor (Ci)

Bearing area factor (Cb)

Time effect factor (TEF)

Result

ASD the adjusted compression perpendicular to grain capacity, R'

lbs

LRFD the adjusted compression perpendicular to grain capacity, R'

LRFD

Fc1 - Reference design value for compression perpendicular to grain
A - Cross section area of member
Cm - Wet service factor
Ct - Temperature factor
Ci - Incising factor
Cb - Bearing area factor
TEF - Time effect factor
R'(ASD) - the adjusted compression perpendicular to grain capacity
R'(LRFD) - the adjusted compression perpendicular to grain capacity
