    This document calculates values for an arch compression member to check if it meets allowable buckling stress requirements. It determines the radius of gyration, unbraced length, slenderness ratio, and allowable buckling stress. It then calculates the arch cross sectional area, maximum arch stress, required metallic strand area, gross strand area, and selects a 1 1/2 inch strand size that meets requirements.

    Max arch compression (from last slide) C = 103 k

    Check allowable buckling stress


    Radius of gyration
    r = (2+ i2)1/2/4 = (162 + 152)1/2/4 r = 5.48
    Unbraced length (between strands)
    KL = 1.1 x164 / 7 KL = 26
    Slenderness ratio
    KL/r = 26 x 12 / 5.48 KL/r = 57
    Allowable buckling stress (AISC table) Fa=23 ksi
    Arch cross section
    A =(2 -i2)/4= (162 -15.52)/4 A = 12 in2
    Max. arch stress
    fa= C/A= 103 / 12 fa = 8.6 ksi
    Check fa Fa 8.6<23, OK
    Max strand force
    T ~ H = 83 T~ 83 k
    Required metallic strand area
    Am = T/Fa = 83 / 70 Am = 1.2 in2
    Gross strand area (70% metallic)
    Ag = Am/07 = 1.2/0.7 Ag = 1.7 in2
    Strand size
    A = r2 r2 =A/ = 2r =2(A/)1/2 = 2(A/)1/2 = 2(1.7/)1/2 = 1.47 Use 1
