Hi all, I have designed a tempor

Hi all, I have designed a tempor

(OP)
Hi all,

I have designed a temporary steel grid over a pit which will be plated over.  From the beam spans that I need and designing for a 200 psf live loading,I have arrived at a maximum beam spacing using S6 x 12.5 members.
My question is now, how do I calculate what thickness of plate to use.  Obviously,the greater the beam spacing,the thicker the plate would have to be.  Thanks in advance for any help.
 

RE: Hi all, I have designed a tempor

try Roarks Formulas for Stress and Strain, table 26 if I remember correctly.

RE: Hi all, I have designed a tempor

Look on page 2-145 (I think) of the 9th ed. ASD manual.  You should be able to find it in that chart.
