"FLRPLATE.xls" is a MS-Excel spreadsheet program for analysis of
floor plate subjected to uniformly distributed loading per AISC 9th
Edition (ASD). The two-way plate design formulas from "Design of
Welded Structures" by Omer W. Blodgett are utilized for two-way
analysis, but can be used to simulate one-way design as well.
Note:
the 1/164 deflection ratio shown in the AISC Table on page 2-145 in
earlier AISC 9th Edition printings was in error, as it should be 1/100
as shown in the Jan. 1991 printing.
All the worksheets are
independent and self contained, so that you can move them from one
workbook to another. All the worksheets are protected, but not with a
password.
Please read the "DOC" worksheet for program details as well as assumptions and limitations.
