Steel Plate Thickness check in Bending Under Uniform Loading
When designing a steel plate subjected to bending under a uniform load, it must ensure the plate can withstand the applied forces without excessive deflection or failure. The following steps outline how to calculate the required thickness of a steel plate for this purpose. Step-by-Step Approach to Determining Steel Plate Thickness Plate Framing Considerations To…
Load Distribution from Slab to Beam
This calculator is designed to help engineers in the load distribution from a slab to the beam, considering different slab types, including cantilever, one-way, and two-way slabs. Users can input the load on the slab in kilonewtons per square meter (kN/m²) and select the type of slab they are working with. Depending on the selection,…
Total Run (Horizontal Distance) of a Single-Flight Straight Stair
The total Run (Horizontal distance ) of a Single-Flight straight stair is determined through the dimensions of the stairs, including the tread depth (Run), riser height, and the required total rise. It is calculated by multiplying the number of steps by the tread depth. For example, with a rise of 200 mm and a tread…
