Data Source and Methodology
All calculations are based on the formulas and data provided by the Eurocode 6 standard, specifically EN 1996-1-1:2005. All calculations performed by this tool are strictly based on the formulas and data provided by this source.
The Formula Explained
Glossary of Variables
- Wall Height: The vertical dimension of the wall.
- Wall Length: The horizontal dimension of the wall.
- Compressive Strength: The maximum compressive stress that a material can withstand without failure.
- Load Capacity: The maximum load the wall can support.
How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example
For a wall with a height of 3 meters, a length of 5 meters, and a compressive strength of 10 N/mm², the load capacity is calculated as follows: \( \text{Load Capacity} = (\text{Wall Height} \times \text{Wall Length}) \times \text{Compressive Strength} \).
