The timber database tables in STAAD.Pro lists various properties like B, D, Sxx, Syy, Fb, Ft, Fc perp etc. Can you please explain what these represent ?
Here is an explanation on the various items included in the Timber database tables
B – Width of the section
D – Depth of the section
Area – Cross sectional area
Sxx – Elastic section modulus about the major axis
Ixx – Moment of inertia about the major axis
Syy – Elastic section modulus about the minor axis
Iyy – Moment of inertia about the minor axis
Fb – Allowable Bending Stress
Ft – Allowable Tensile Stress
Fv – Allowable Shear Stress
Fc perp – Allowable Compression perpendicular to grain
Fc - Allowable Compression parallel to grain
E – Elastic modulus
