Abstract:
A method of analysis is developed for determining the load-deflection response of concrete plates simply supported on four edges and subjected to the combined action of axial or eccentric compressive in-plane loads and transverse loads (loads perpendicular to the plane of the plate). Comparison with test results shows good agreement. The analysis was used to study the effect of several variables known to influence the behavior and ultimate transverse load of simply supported plates.
