stress ratio perhaps?

The spreadsheet defines SR as different items in different cells. Doesn't look much like a ratio to me.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
 
to me is the ratio between actual stress divided by allowable stress : that is < 1 OK

or ,if you prefer, 1/SR > 1 safety coeff
 
And aren't spreadsheets grand when they don't allow you to see the formula behind a cell?
 
Too bad they don't identify LRFD or ASD SR's.

It does make a difference.

If it were a drawing showing a leader with initials SR, pointing at a corner, my interpretation would be spherical radius.
