TENSION ROD (TURNBUCKLE) DESIGN


RESULT The Tension Rod Is Adequate!

Pu = 36.748 kN **must be greater than 0 or postive for tension

Properties:
Rod Diameter, Ø = M20 mm
Core Diamter, dc = 16.933 mm
Tension Yield Strength Fyt = 400 MPa
Coef. Of friction, μ = 0.15
Factor of Safety, FS = 2

Considering Tension:

σT = Pu/((pi()/4)*dc^2)
σT = 163.183412 MPa

Torque required to overcome thread friction:

MT = 0.098Pud N-mm
MT = 72026.08 N-mm

Shear Stress:
3
τ = 16MT/πdc MPa
τ= 75.55412214 MPa

Principal Shear Stress:

2 2
τmax = √((σT/2) + τ ) MPa
τmax = 111.2008627 MPa

Factor of Safety:

FS = 0.5Fyt/τmax
FS = 1.798547198 < 2 G
