Road Plate Design
Road Plate Design
(OP)
I am looking to design a road plate to carry a point load right smack in the middle of it. The Road plate would be supported on all 4 sides, however i feel that assuming that the plate is only supported on two sides and would only be bending in one direction is very conservative. Does Anyone know where I can find a good source for road plate designs? Is there a manual or online source?
Thank you.
Thank you.

If you want a manual specific for road plates you might try searching NAVFAC for a design manual...they're full of useful information.

From what i understand, it's almost always 3/4" thick. I don't know if they have plates they reuse but that thickness is typically enough. (Not that the numbers shouldn't be run on it though.)
