Moment in sqaure panel supported all 4 sides, and loaded centrally
Moment in sqaure panel supported all 4 sides, and loaded centrally
(OP)
How can I find the formulae for maximum moments for a 19" square floor panel supported all 4 sides, and loaded centrally over a 5"x 5" square patch with a 4,000 pound load, for:
a) for all 4 edges restrained, maximum positive and negative moments
b) for all 4 edges rotationally free, maximum positive moment
A long time ago I saw graphs for finding this.
I am checking whether the 2½" slab of an existing waffle slab garage floor will figure if the slab is chipped out and re-poured so that it no longer has rotational edge restraint, and whether welded steel wire mesh in this case would provide sufficient steel area to take the moment.
