"PLATECAP" --- AXIAL LOAD CAPACITIES FOR SINGLE PLATES | |||||||||
Program Description: | |||||||||
"PLATECAP" is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of determining the gross tension | |||||||||
and compression axial load capacities of single plates. The results of the calculations are presented in a | |||||||||
tabular format. | |||||||||
This program is a workbook consisting of two (2) worksheets, described as follows: | |||||||||
Worksheet Name | Description | ||||||||
Doc | This documentation sheet | ||||||||
Plate Axial Load Capacities | Determine axial load capacities for single plates | ||||||||
Program Assumptions and Limitations: | |||||||||
1. This program follows the procedures and guidelines of the AISC 9th Edition Allowable Stress (ASD) Manual | |||||||||
(1989). | |||||||||
2. This program assumes that the axial load, tension or compression, is distributed uniformly on the plate | |||||||||
gross cross-section. | |||||||||
3. The user may create "custom" tables by inputing the desired values of plate heights and plate thicknesses. | |||||||||
4. The user may clear contents of any input cells located within tables as desired. | |||||||||
5. Typical use for this program would be for quick analysis of capacity of beam tabs or bracing gusset plates. | |||||||||
6. This program contains “comment boxes” which contain information including explanations of input items, etc. | |||||||||
(Note: presence of a “comment box” is denoted by a “red triangle” in the upper right-hand corner of a cell. | |||||||||
Merely move the mouse pointer to the desired cell to view the contents of that particular "comment box".) | |||||||||
