User may familiar with AISC Manual Table 5-1 for Available Strength in Axial Tension and Table Table 4-1 Available Strength in Axial Compression. CET.Calculators has 2 calculators to do the calculations. In Member Axial Tension Calculator, for a W14X99 member, the yielding capacity is 871.3 kips and the rupture capacity is 709.3 kips. In Table 5-1, the values are 871 kips and 709 kips. So the results are accurate.
In Member Axial Compression Calculator, for a W14X120 member with 10 ft effective length, the calculated capacity is 980.3 kips. And the value in Table 4-1 is 980 kips.
Also users can change the display to Markdown format and copy the text to a Markdown editor, like Typora. By this way users can create their own report and export to PDF format.
The benefits for CET.Calculators are:
- Easy to use, no install, no registration.
- The results are accurate and the calculation procedures are printed for explanations.
- No interpolations. User can input effective length directly, like 12.5 ft.
- User can change member grade and AISC Table 5-1 and Table Table 4-1 will not covert such material grades.
