In the below attached Calculator, you can check whether the steel plate’s provided thickness is adequate in bending. However, the following are the limitations of the calculation:
- Plate framing should be one-way, which means the plate is supported in two directions.
- Applied loads are uniformly distributed.
Notes:
Kindly note following:
- Load will be input as un-factored.
- The maximum allowable load is calculated based on the maximum permissible bending.
- The span length is the distance of the supporting beam in the shorter direction.
- The modulus of Elasticity and allowable fiber stress of plate material are not fixed and kept as user input.
- As per AISC Allowable deflection = Span length / 100, however, in this calculation 100 is labeled as “Deflection Factor” and can be input as 100,180,200, etc. as per their code and specification
