bending plates

[nuche1973]

Greetings,
It has been several years since I worked in a struct.steel shop and I can't remember what the maximum plate thickness that can be bent 90degrees. Is 3/8" the limit?

depends ... how fast are you doing it ? heating the bend before ? what's the material UTS ? how good are your tools, your people ?

What radius are you trying to achieve?

Look at AISC 9th Ed. pg 4-174
I haven't come across it in the 13th yet. Maybe someone else has.
