Equivalent Round Section Dimension

How is the dimension for an equivalent round section calculated in the Timber Design add-on?

Answer:

The formula to determine the initial section depth d_i (CSA) or the equivalent square section dimension a_eq (NDS) used for the slenderness ratio calculation is as follows:

d_{i} = \sqrt{\frac{π \cdot d^{2}}{4}} (CSA O 86)

a_{eq} = \sqrt{\frac{π \cdot d^{2}}{4}} (NDS)

d_i	Initial section depth
d	Diameter (section depth)
a_eq	Equivalent square section dimension
