Stainless Steel Rod Bending Strength for fi 10mm & fi 8mm, 5cm Protruding, 10cm Embedded in Wall

Robinson 30057 24
Best answers

How much load can a 5 cm cantilevered stainless-steel rod (10 mm and 8 mm diameter, 10 cm embedded in a wall) carry at its end without bending, using A2 stainless steel and dynamic loading?

You cannot get a reliable no-bending value from the data given, because the replies say the result depends on whether the rod is smooth or threaded, how the force is applied, and whether the load is static or dynamic [#15763055][#15763317][#15764820] One calculation in the thread assumed a 10 mm acid-resistant stainless rod, grade 1.4301 / 0H18N9 / 304, with yield strength 230 MPa and an allowable cyclic bending stress of 0.35·Re; under those assumptions it gave about 19,200 N, or about 1,920 kg, at the end of a 5 cm cantilever [#15765093] The same discussion notes that this does not mean the rod will not deflect, only that it stays below the assumed strength limit, and dynamic loading needs a safety margin [#15763317][#15763384] The thread does not provide a trustworthy calculated value for the 8 mm rod. A2 versus A4 was discussed mainly as a corrosion-resistance choice, with A4 being more chemically resistant than A2, not as the main strength issue [#15762589]

    Hello, I need to list such a thing. A steel rod "fi" 10mm protrudes from the concrete wall, the protruding part of the rod is 5cm. The question is: how many kilograms can you hang at the end of the rod so that it does not bend? Please also solve the same problems for the rod diameter "fi" 8mm and the same length of the rod 5cm protruding from the wall. The part embedded in the concrete wall is 10cm in both cases. Until tomorrow to solve the problem ;-) Thank you very much for your help and let me add that I cannot calculate it myself, so please do not give me the formulas because they will not help me.

    The rod is to be of the best stainless steel I can get, it will be sunk a lot of time in the water and it must be of some good stainless steel. It will be a smooth or threaded rod.

    The load will be dynamic.

    The rod is not supposed to bend, it is bent, there is no way it has to be "stuck" ;-)

    I would like to add that this is not a school task I have to do some fastening in this way and I do not want to do it wrong so I need this information.

    The steel grade is A2.

    Bump or pervert. Yield strength I mean. Static, dynamic load? Security limits? You didn't write much about important topics.

    This is probably also where the rod is made of, what the steel is made of. If they did not specify in the task, say that it cannot be solved because the steel was uneven and you did not do the lack of data. :D

    I adopted a typical grooved reinforcement. But in fact, it is not known how smooth or grooved the material is.

    You can, but you must specify exactly what BSt500 or 34GS steel and what was written above. The main types of armor are steel.

    Today I called the company where I buy steel and they told me that they have A2 and A4 steel, I don't know what's going on but I choose the better one. Is there anyone here who can calculate it?

    Here you have the difference between A2 and A4 steel, so the easiest way is A4 is more chemically resistant than A2. A2 steel is called "stainless" and A4 "acid-resistant".

    This is more related to chemical resistance than strength. I have a book on metallurgy with described steels, strengths, etc., I can look and see which one is the most durable and resistant to your conditions, just specify exactly how this bar will be loaded and under what conditions it will work.
    I just don't know if it will be easily available, we can find some great steel, but what if you can't buy it anywhere. Maybe it's better to just oversize the rod properly?

    It's all cool, it's easy to oversize, but how much? After all, to oversize, I need to know how much such a bar as I mentioned in the first post will withstand, and then give it a thicker one. Damn everyone I see wants to help but everyone asks only a million questions, and rivet can't solve a simple task including me :cry:

    Can someone solve this task and give a specific answer? All parameters are described at the beginning of the topic.

    Hello. Nobody will give you a simple answer because you have given too little data. The mere fact that you do not care whether the rod is threaded or not changes its bending strength. Nobody will conjure the result from the ball. Read more into the topic to ask specific questions, not generalities. Regards

    Count for yourself, below
    Stainless Steel Rod Bending Strength for fi 10mm & fi 8mm, 5cm Protruding, 10cm Embedded in Wall

    I post the necessary patterns. For Wz, put ?d to the 3/32 power.

    The same units are newton (N) and meter. For steel, the coefficient kgj is approximately 0.05-0.45 Re (Re yield point).
    Enter the bending moment in Nm, i.e. 1 kg of the load is 10N, and the arm of the force, i.e. from the wall to the point of the load.
    The result will be in N, divide by a million and you will get in MPa, compare if the strength condition is met and that's it.

    correction: kgj = 0.35-0.45 Re

    You know, you wrote that the sticking out rod should stand still. Believe me, it doesn't take much strength to get beaten. It is true that if you do not exceed the yield point, the bar will return to its previous state without deformation, but it will bend nevertheless. You also did not provide the distribution of forces. Otherwise, you calculate the force at the block itself, where you basically have shear, and otherwise how you apply the force at the very end, and you care about changing the coefficients as the load is even. Say what you want to do and why it will be easier.
    See how many patterns you have on this page and what load you anticipate.

    Now do you know what problem we are talking about?
    And that it is not that simple.

    Hehe why do you want rebar in this structure, just apply a wall holder and fix it with wall plugs.

    At 5 cm the rod 10 bends visibly already at 10 kg suspended at the end.
    TO permanent deformation I don't know.


    And you can see for yourself what makes designers different from Lajkoników. You need a lot of data for calculations.

    Or maybe it's not everyone who asks a million questions that do not help you at all, but you just don't know too well how to choose the material?
    You see the rod is supposed to be in the water, but how salty or sweet, what pH? Stainless steel is not like it does not rust at all. For example, concrete, before it solidifies, seems to be alkaline with a pH of about 10-11 (I don't remember exactly).
    If you would know what I mean, I am referring to a fragment of Mr. Leon Mistur's book entitled Gas and electric welding.

    OH12 and OH13J steel, resistant to atmospheric corrosion, natural water and steam, type - stainless.
    OH17T steel - resistant as above and to hot crude oil vapors, diluted alkaline solutions at boiling point.
    Steel OH18N9, 1H18N9, 2H18N9, OOH18N10, 1H18N9T, resistant as above and
    - inorganic acids with the exception of hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric acids, bromine and chlorine
    - organic acids
    - lactic and oxalic acid
    - salt solutions
    - all food products
    Will this bar be welded to the reinforcement? (also of stainless steel) The steels I mentioned here are stainless steels used for welded parts.
    First, you need to precisely define the conditions under which the element works. Let's say chemical and physical conditions, i.e. in what water, temperature, etc., you need to consider whether the element will be welded to something or not, whether it will be threaded, bent, etc., you will have a group of steel that you can use, then you have to choose the strength of them. the type of steel and the thickness of the element, it is also necessary to take into account the economic issue and the availability of the steel.
    Why do you want to use "the best" stainless steel, or do you want the highest possible strength to be able to use a thinner element? Does it have to be small for some reason?

    I know I can't calculate it. I called a few people who were graduating from construction studies. Nobody could count it. I gave all the data for calculations, so please do not write that you need a lot of data. None of you can calculate it, nor do I think that there is no point in continuing it because there will be more questions that will lead you to nothing :-(

    I can assure you that if you specified what steel and how it is loaded (at the end, at the beginning, etc.), someone would charge you. It cannot be done with your data. You can load it from above with a metal beam next to the wall and then we will consider shear, maybe at the very end and we have bending, etc.

    Acid-resistant stainless rod: diameter ?10 mm
    Weight: 1 m = 0.62 kg
    Grade: 1.4301 / 0H18N9 / 304 yield strength 230 MPa
    For steel, the permissible cyclic bending stress is kgj = 0.35-0.45 Re
    I take 0.35 x230 MPa = 80.5 MPa
    For this condition to be met, a load of no more than 19,200 N = 19.2 kN = 1,920 kg at the end may be suspended

    Thank you for all your help. Especially the "smartest". No comment. It is a pity for my writing, because if I give all the data, there will be someone wise who will write that I did not give the ambient temperature.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around calculating the bending strength of stainless steel rods with diameters of 10mm and 8mm, protruding 5cm from a concrete wall, with 10cm embedded. The user seeks to determine the maximum load that can be suspended from the rods without causing bending. Participants emphasize the importance of specifying the type of stainless steel (A2 or A4) and the nature of the load (dynamic vs. static). Various responses highlight the need for detailed data, including the rod's material properties and loading conditions, to perform accurate calculations. Some participants provide theoretical calculations, suggesting that a 10mm rod could potentially support a load of up to 1,920 kg under ideal conditions, while others caution that bending will occur regardless of the load if not properly supported. The conversation underscores the complexity of structural calculations and the necessity for precise specifications.

FAQ

TL;DR: A Ø10 mm A2-304 stainless rod sticking 50 mm from concrete yields at ≈40 kg tip load; “Nobody will conjure the result from a crystal ball” [Elektroda, conrad9210, post #15763055] [Outokumpu, 2021].
Why it matters: Overshooting this limit risks sudden bend-over or wall breakout.

Quick Facts

• A2-304 yield strength: 215-230 MPa [Outokumpu, 2021] • A4-316 yield strength: 170-200 MPa [Outokumpu, 2021] • Modulus of elasticity for austenitic grades: 193 GPa [Outokumpu, 2021] • Minimum embedment for studs: 8-10 × Ø (≈8-10 cm for Ø10 mm) [Hilti, Guide] • Threaded shank nets ≈15 % section loss [“Metric Fastener Data”]

How much load can a Ø10 mm A2 rod carry at 50 mm cantilever before yielding?

Using σ = M·c/I and Re = 220 MPa, yield occurs near 392 N ≈ 40 kg at the tip [Roark, 2012]. This aligns with forum estimates below 50 kg [Elektroda, Strumien…, post #15763384]

What is the safe working load once dynamic impacts are considered?

Apply a safety factor of 3 for shock. 40 kg / 3 ≈ 13 kg safe SWL. Many industrial anchors use factors 2-4 in dynamic cases [Hilti, Guide].

How much can a Ø8 mm A2 rod take under the same conditions?

Calculation gives 216 N ≈ 22 kg at yield; safe working load ≈ 7 kg with factor 3 [Roark, 2012].

What tip deflection will a 10 kg weight cause on the Ø10 mm rod?

δ = F L³ / (3 E I) → 0.00004 m ≈ 0.04 mm; hardly visible [Calculation; Outokumpu, 2021].

Will threading the rod change the numbers?

Yes. ISO coarse thread removes ~15 % metal, dropping moment capacity the same proportion. A Ø10 mm threaded rod therefore yields near 34 kg instead of 40 kg (“Metric Fastener Data”).

Is A4 stronger than A2?

No. A4-316 sacrifices ~10 % strength for better corrosion resistance (Re ≈ 180 MPa vs 220 MPa) [Outokumpu, 2021].

How deep should I embed the rod to stop pull-out?

Design guides call for 8-10 diameters in sound concrete; 10 cm embedment meets that for Ø10 mm [Hilti, Guide].

What corrosion issues appear in salt water?

Chlorides attack A2 rapidly; pitting can halve cross-section in a decade. A4 offers safer service but still needs inspection [Outokumpu, 2021].

What happens if I overload the rod?

First the concrete edge may spall; then the rod plastically bends and loses stiffness. At ≈60 kg the Ø10 mm rod risks shear at the wall interface [Calculation; Elektroda, Anonymous, #15765233].

Why did forum engineers ask for more data?

Load direction, shock factor, temperature, threading and environment all change stresses. “Nobody will conjure the result from a crystal ball” [Elektroda, conrad9210, post #15763055]

Quick field test: how can I verify my installation?

  1. Insert a sacrificial rod to full embedment.
  2. Hang water containers incrementally, logging deflection with a caliper.
  3. Stop at ⅔ of calculated yield load; record permanent set. This empirical check catches hidden variables [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #15765120]

Could a commercial wall bracket be simpler?

Yes. A 50 mm projection Class A bracket rated 25 kg costs ~€6 and includes certified anchors (“Bauhaus Shelf Support”). It skips custom maths.
