The formula to calculate the Lag Screw Capacity (C) is:
\[ C = \left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \times D^2 \times S \]
Where:
A lag screw, also known as a lag bolt, is a large, heavy-duty fastener typically used to connect heavy lumber or other materials that bear an intense load. Lag screws are characterized by their hexagonal heads and coarse threading, which allows them to be driven into wood or other materials without the need for a nut. They are commonly used in construction, particularly in wood-frame buildings, to provide strong and secure connections. The capacity of a lag screw to bear loads depends on its diameter and the material’s shear strength.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the Lag Screw Capacity (C):
\[ C = \left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \times D^2 \times S = \left(\frac{3.14159}{4}\right) \times 10^2 \times 100 ≈ 7853.98 \text{ N} \]
The Lag Screw Capacity (C) is approximately 7853.98 N.
