  • Do you want to know how to calculate the bending capacity of a steel flat or plate? In this tutorial I show you how to use simple formulas to calculate the thickness required for steel flat or plate in bending. Using a fully worked example, we apply a load and work out how thick our steel plate needs to be to support a load.

    I use this method for welded shelf angle design to estimate the size of the equal angle but it is not applicable when the angle is not welded to the support. Could you please do a design of an equal angle bolted to the support ? Thank you

    great job i was searching for this formula but i have a little bit concern on it the aspect ratio between width and length not conedered on this for example plate 300 x 300mm is more stiff than 800 x 300 mm for same thickness for sure

      That would be a more complicated calculation to take into account buckling and torsion.

  • @zeeshot

    Thanks for this. Really helpful. Can you advise how adding stiffeners increases the bending capacity?

    • @RobindeJongh
      @RobindeJongh  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The plate would bend between the stiffeners, i.e. more like a simply supported beam than a cantilever.

  • @mrmadame28
    @mrmadame28 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Z = b*d^2/4. What you have used is S. Its safer as it assume a triangular distribution of stress. But in that particular concept, Z is the right choice.

    Is it possible to use this with different materials than steel?

  • @dennispersson2101
    @dennispersson2101 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Is it possible to use the same formula with a reduced "b" (width) of the plate when you have holes for bolts in the plate? For example width 200mm with 2xM20 bolt-holes gives a reduced width of b=200-(2*22)=156 mm. Then use the reduced width to find the thickness of the plate. Cheers.

      @RobindeJongh  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes Dennis, that should work.

  • @DJayDNA
    @DJayDNA 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very nicely explained. However I am wondering; how would go about to design a steel plate that has both bending moment and shear force?
    If you have a steel beam that is welded to a steel plate and the plate itself is bolted to a wall, then it would have above mentioned force on it, correct?
    I thought about using Navier's equation but it uses Normal force and not Shear force. Or maybe I'm analyzing the forces incorrectly?

    • @RobindeJongh
      @RobindeJongh  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In beam design, shear is taken by the web, and bending by the flanges, thus we seperate out the functions that way. You would do the same with a connection to a wall -- select some bolts to take the tension, and some to take the shear.

    Hi Robin,
    Im currently designing the platform for a aerial lifting platform, used this video for working out the thickness required to withstand the load acting on it. I have the live load amount but would you also have to take into account the dead load (weight of the platfrom) aswell? Was unsure if this video would apply to my question as not sure if it would be considered a cantilever beam calc instead.
    keep up the good work,
    Alex

    • @andreahoffman8199
      @andreahoffman8199 ปีที่แล้ว

      you would have to as the bending moment takes into consideration both Dead and Live loadings (factored.)

    Hello Robin,
    I am fabricating a mono-stringer staircase and after watching your video I found that d = .314961. If that is so, then do I assume that using this thickness or thicker (say .375) it will not deflect with the end load?

    • @RobindeJongh
      @RobindeJongh  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Eric. A mono stringer staircase would usually be made from steel box section, and it would not usually be a cantilever.

    Hi there, I've been trying to find info on how to calculate how much weight a simple steel profile can take and I can't find anything, everything I see is about I beams and such, I want to know about simple rectangular profile, 5 mt long, 50mm height, 20mm wide, and 1.5 or 2mm thick. Can you help?

  • @Jpifr
    @Jpifr 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi, thank you ! So what is the number I end with ? The minimal thickness of the section so it won’t break isn’t it ? How can I know the deflection at the place of the load ?

    • @RobindeJongh
      @RobindeJongh  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Jean-Pierre. The number you end up with is the required thickness of steel. To work out the deflection you will need to use the deflection formula for a cantilever, which you can find online, something like PL^3 / 3EI

  • @shohel1718
    @shohel1718 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Sir can you upload one more calculation. The quersion is-
    Steel plate size L 6m X B 2m X h 70mm.
    On that steel plate we going to apply load on area of load (2m x 2m). This load place on just center of that steel plate.
    So we need to know once the steel plate position on hard ground then what is the maximum strength of steel plate. On that condition.
    Hard ground gbp will 35 ton/msq.
    Apply load on it 70 ton. Sir we are looking compleat design calculation.

    Where can one find the formula for Z ? Is that the plastic capacity or the elastic?

    • @clb09120
      @clb09120 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Plastic

    • @that.unknown
      @that.unknown 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Z used here is the elastic modulus, the plastic modulus is bd^2/4 while elastic is bd^2/6. Canada and the U.S denote elastic modulus by S and plastic by Z. Which I find much more intuitive since a material would reach its elastic capacity first before plastic, just as S comes before Z in the alphabetical order.

      Z is known as the section modulus and is in this case bd^2/6... its a geometric property
