orthotropic plate design
orthotropic plate design
(OP)
i want to design a plate grider with web stiffened to resist lateral pressure load on web of around 300 mm WC.
since this plate grider is used to support the duct with internal pressure of 300mmWC .
Please let me know how to design the plate grider web , i have searched in web and found orthopice plate design may be the best soluition. please let me know how to do this? is there any codes available for this type of design.

I have a copy stashed away somewhere, but, quite frankly as BA suggests, that might be somewhat of an overkill here.

then you've added a presmably small lateral load into the caps, another thing to consider.

there could well be a point for saying that the duct top and bttm sides will react the pressure load onto the web (and not the beam cap in lateral bending).

IS THERE ANY BOOKS WRITTEN ON THIS TOPICS?
I WILL UPLOAD SKETCH SHORTLY

I very much doubt that anyone has written a book on the subject.
