The document summarizes design checks for a checkered plate and supporting flat bar for a platform. It calculates the applied maximum bending moments and allowable bending moments based on the material properties and cross section dimensions. It determines that a 3mm thick checkered plate and 6mm x 100mm flat bar are sufficient to support the expected loads on the platform.

Consider a 1m wide strip of the Plate. Design Thickness of the Checkered Plate = 3mm Dead Weight of the Checkered Plate (Gk) = 0.25 kN/m2 Live Load on the Floor (Qk) = 2.5 kN/m2 Design Load (w)= 1.4Gk + 1.6Qk = 4.35 kN/m2 Maximum Span in-between supports (l)= 0.6 m Applied Maximum Bending Moment (M) = wl2/8 =0.2 kNm Calculation of Allowable Maximum Bending Moment Allowable Stress () = 215 N/mm2 Width of the section (b)= 1000 mm Depth of the section (d)= 3 mm Elastic Section Modulus (z)= 1000x(3)2/6 = 1500 mm3 Moment Capacity of the section =z = 215x1500 Nmm =0.32 kNm > 0.2 kNm Therefore, Moment Capacity of the section > Applied Maximum Bending Moment on the Checkered Plate
Hence 3mm Thick Checkered Plate is O.K. for the Floor of the Platform.
Design Check for the Platform Supporting Bar (6mmx100mm Flat Bar) Calculation of Maximum Moment on the Flat Bar when acting as a Cantilever Beam. Maximum Simply Supported Span of the Flat Bar (l) = 0.4 m Design Floor Load (w) = 4.35 kN/m2 Maximum Moment (M)= wl2/2 = 0.35 kNm
Calculation of Maximum Moment on the Flat Bar when acting as a Simply Supported Beam. Maximum Simply Supported Span of the Flat Bar (l) = 0.6 m Design Floor Load (w) = 4.35 kN/m2 Maximum Moment (M)= wl2/8 = 0.2 kNm Therefore the largest Bending Moment is when Flat Bar is acting as a Cantilever Beam. Calculation of Allowable Maximum Bending Moment for the Flat Bar Allowable Stress () = 215 N/mm2 Width of the section (b)= 6 mm Depth of the section (d)= 100 mm Elastic Section Modulus (z)= 6x(100)2/6 = 10000 mm3 Moment Capacity of the section =z = 215x10000 Nmm =2.15 kNm > 0.35 kNm Therefore, Moment Capacity of the Flat Bar > Applied Maximum Bending Moment on the Flat Bar
Hence, 6mm x 100mm Flat Bar is O.K. to Support the Platform.
