| "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".) | |||||||||
