Rectangular Plate Under Concentrated Load

Rectangular Plate Under Concentrated Load

Rectangular Plate Under Concentrated Load

(OP)
I am looking for bending moment tables for edge-supported (all possible boundary conditions/combinations - free edge, simple supported of fixed edge) rectangular plate under concentrated load (or distributed load under small tributary area) at any point of the plate. Roark’s book has only uniformly distributed load over whole plate.
Thank you,

RE: Rectangular Plate Under Concentrated Load

In my 5th Ed., I see cases 1b and 1c in Table 26 that may help, although supports are limited to simply supported.

RE: Rectangular Plate Under Concentrated Load

In my 6th Ed., case 8b could help as well (uniform load on a small concentric circle of radius ro).

RE: Rectangular Plate Under Concentrated Load

Would the grand old Pucher charts be useful as well? They have many charts/diagrams for different loading and boundary conditions.

RE: Rectangular Plate Under Concentrated Load

why don't you try SAP2000 or RISA3D to model it, so simple.

for uniform loading, please try concrete plate of SETFORD at www.ensketch.com/download.html, it agrees well to PCA tables and FEM results
