Grating Load Tributory Areas
Grating Load Tributory Areas
(OP)
Guys,
I have a hard time imagining that the tributary area for grating supported on four sides, is actually supported on two depending on the direction of the major grating bars. It seems like the grating bars welded together would be fixed. Even if this is so, I don't know how you could choose which side the grating would run. After all, it's still sitting on all four beams. What are your opinions on this?

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

That's the quick and easy way, but if you are really ambitious you could create an FEA model which more than likely is not justifiable.

This might be my favorite post of yours ever. And that's an achievement, because your posts are always among the best/most helpful in whichever thread contains them.

On your drawings indicate your intended span direction, and then design your beams accordingly.
