Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Tie Force at Anchor 1 = 10000
  • Tie Force at Anchor 2 = 20000
  • Tie Force at Anchor 3 = 30000
  • Horizontal Distance of Anchor 1 from Datum = 1
  • Horizontal Distance of Anchor 2 from Datum = 2
  • Horizontal Distance of Anchor 3 from Datum = 3

Expected Result:

  • Effective Tie-Force Application Location = 2.3333333333333

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Effective Tie-Force Application Location = 2.3333333333333 m.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.

Formula / Method

effective tie-force application location = (tie force at anchor 1 * horizontal distance of anchor 1 from datum + tie force at anchor 2 * horizontal distance of anchor 2 from datum + tie force at anchor 3 * horizontal distance of anchor 3 from datum) / (tie force at anchor 1 + tie force at anchor 2 + tie force at anchor 3)
