Allowable load on steel road plate
Allowable load on steel road plate
(OP)
I am looking for some help in determining the proper temporary steel plate to allow the passage of a 12,000 wheel load over an 8 ft span.
Thanks
Thanks

Seems like some larger cities have standard tables for plates used to cover holes in pavement- make sure you're not overlooking something there.
RE: Allowable load on steel road plate
If this is only supported at the ends, not at the sides, you may have sizable deflection as well.
RE: Allowable load on steel road plate
You need to start with what size plate is available and proceed from there. Also, as mentioned above, check if standard tables are available.

Also try Roarks "Formulas for Stress and Strain" as mentioned above by JStephen. I'd check several formulas to get consistent results, some solve for peak stress and other solve for an average stress across a section. It depends on whether your needs are for a long term installation where peak stress is important or if it is for temporary use where the basic strength is adequate. However an 8' plate is probably going to have considerable deflection.

True, I should have read your second post properly!

stress = 24900 psi
deflection = 0.467 inches
This is for a square plate 96" each side with simple supports and the load applied on 6" circle in center of the plate.
