Bending Stress Calculation

Moment due to Horizontal Load = 9 kip-ft

Bending stress on the Structural member = 25.293 ksi

Permissible Bending Stress, 0.66 fy = 27.72 ksi SAFE

Shear Stress Calculation

Shear due to Horizontal Load = 6 kip

Shear stress on the Structural member = 1.45 ksi

Permissible Shear Stress, 0.4 fy = 16.8 ksi SAFE

Resisting Moment Calculations

Total Resisting Moment MR = 27

Over Turning Moment MO = 15

Factor of Saftey against Overturning = MR


MO

= 1.80 > 1.4 SAFE
