Steel Plate Design
(OP)
Hi everyone I'm a fresh graduate in civil engineering and now I'm doing a steel plate design which is 400mm wide, 35mm thick and it's simply supported.The span length is .25m.It's in flexural condition. It look like elementary but I don't know how to consider the width thickness ratio of the plate.If someone knows about steel plate design plz help me thz

The spreadsheet is excellent.
You can also use Z=bd^2/4 rather than bd^2/6 for section modulus...

If you use the Plastic Modulus, Z=bd^2/4, you would be using factored loads, right dik?

RE: Steel Plate Design
35mm seems like a pretty thick plate to be spanning 250mm. What type of load do you have on this plate?
BA
RE: Steel Plate Design
No, dik is correct. The limit state is calculated independently of design method. For LRFD, the value is multiplied by 0.9; for ASD, it is divided by 1.67.

One of the things you oughta check..., is to check back in here when you post a question, quickly and regularly, so there aren’t 16 guesses before you actually define your problem for the first time. And, drop the twitter speak/twitter spell and use regular engineering speak, full words and sentences. There are plenty of smart people here willing to help you with your problem, but you are wasting their time when you don’t make the effort to fully define your problem, so they know all the facts.

Why would it be normal to use 800MPa for this application rather than a thicker plate of a more commonly available grade of steel?

.I also find out in practice they use that much thickness.Thank you all for your answers.It help me a lot.

Why don't you provide a sketch and your calculation?
