Calculate Compression Strength for Wood

The following is for calculating the adjusted compression capacity of wood member.

Reference design value for compression parallel to grain (Fc)

Cross section area of member (A)

Load duration factor (Cd)

Wet service factor (Cm)

Temperature factor (Ct)

Incising factor (Ci)

Size factor (Cf)

Column stability factor (Cp)

Time effect factor (TEF)

Result

ASD the adjusted compression capacity, P'

lbs

LRFD the adjusted compression capacity, P'

lbs

Fc - Reference design value for compression parallel to grain
A - Cross section area of member
Cd - Load duration factor
Cm - Wet service factor
Ct - Temperature factor
Ci - Incising factor
Cf - Size factor
Cp - Column stability factor
TEF - Time effect factor
P'(ASD) - the adjusted compression capacity
P'(LRFD) - the adjusted compression capacity
