Typical examples fre wall and footing panels of counterfort retaining walls, The tables provide the designer with a rapid and economical means of analyzing the ‘structures at representative points. ‘The date presented, as indicated in the accompanying figure on the frontispiece, were computed for five sets of boundary conditions, nine ratios of lateral dimensions, and eleven loadings typical of those encountered in design. Acknowledgments ‘Whe writer was assisted inthe numerical ‘computations by W. S. Young, J. R. Brizzolara, and D. Misterek. H. J. Kahm assisted in ‘computations and in checking the results obtained, ‘As supplementary guides to the use and ‘opment of the data compiled in this monoggaph, two appendixes are included. ‘The first"appeitdix presents'an example of application uf the data to ‘typical structure, ‘The second appendix explains the basic mathematical considerations and develops the application of the finite difference method to the solution of plate problems. A. series. of ‘drawings in the appendixes presents basic relations ‘which will aid in application of, the method to other problems. Other drawings illustrate upp cation of the method to one of the specific eases fand Interal dimension ratios included in the monograph. ‘The figures were prepared by H. E. Willmano, Solutions of the simultaneous equations were performed using an electronic calculator under the direotion of F. E. Swain.BouNDARY conoITIONS INDEX OF BOUNDARY AND LOADING CONDITIONS FRONTISPIECECONTENTS 28. Plate fixed along two adjacent edges, moment and reaction coef ficients, Load 11, 2/8 uniform load. 29.

A factor directly affecting ite accuracy is the closeness of spacing, hence the ‘number, of grid points. In obtaining the solutions Presented in this monograph, a maximum number ‘of points was tised, consistent with the objectives of the study and the capacity of the available * electronic ealeulator. A few instances may be found where there appear to be irregularities in the orderly progres. sion of the coefficients as the ratio a/b changes. Such instances are most likely to occur in the Jow values of the ratio, where, to gain accuracy, the number of points ‘used in the analysis was increased as a/b decreased. Although these incon. sistencies are undesirable from an academic standpoint, they are not of sufficient magnitude to-affect materially the usefulness of the results, As a general check on the finite difference method, problems for which “exact’ solutions are Known have been computed. ‘The results indicat that Tor spacings comparable to those used in this suudy, errors in the maximum moments may be of the order of five percent. Such accuracy is isfactory for design purposes. Percentage errors for small numerical values of the coefficients may, of course, be somewhat higher. For Case 5 © comparison is given in Table 2 ‘Tanus 2—Compariton of Coeficiente of Mazin Bending Moment atthe Center of « Uniformly Loaded Rectangular Plate Fized Along Four Edges watts adn oh TS rats ken crcl om page 28, Reece, wth due reat CERES NaI En se cue fr naa ote peng 4344 MOMENTS AND REACTIONS FOR RECTANGULAR PLATES between values found on page 228 of Referpace 1 and directly equivalent values obtained by method of this monograph. In this pari ase, thorelative diflrences are, for the most part, Jess than one percent. Comparisons have also been made with other existing results for fll uniformly varying loud and certain ratios of a/b. These indicated very rood agreement. i All cofcients have been compnted to fof decimal places for consistency and to indicage significant figures for many conditions which would have no significance to three decimal places. This should not be taken as an indication that the percentage accuracy is greater than noted above.Appendix | An Application to a Design Problem ‘Tas appendix illustrates uso of the tabulated coefficients by an application to « typical design Problem. Figure 37 shows essential dimensions ‘and typical loads acting on an interior panel of « counterfort retaining well. Both wall and heel slabs approximate the condition of a plate fixed slong three edges and free along the fourth. ‘The variations in thickness of the wall slab and the relatively great, thickness of the heel slab com. pared with its lesser lateral dimension are both, Perhaps to some degree, in violation of basic assumptions. Ignoring. thete, however, is done with the conviction that results obtained in this manner are more nearly correct than what might be determined by other available methods. Center line dimensions have been used for both slabs. The net loads, as determined from equi i librium conditions, have been broken into com- Ponents similar to certain of the typical Loads I through XI, These are illustrated together with table of their numerical values in» Figure 37 Te will be noted that for the wall slab, r—a/b— 0.2. This requires interpolation on r for the various loads and in the case of ps, interpolation both on r and the load. For theheel slab. r=a/b=1/2, and since both component. loads act over the full area, no interpolation is required, For illustrative purposes, moments have been computed along the assumed lines of support for both the wall and heel slabs. Where interpola. tion was required to obtain the moment coefli- cients, second degree interpolation was used. ‘The ‘moment coefficients and actual computed moments are given in Tables 3 through 6. 454% MOMENTS AND REACTIONS FOR RECTANGULAR PLATES it mein we Fis wean arin son Soterted cert) 75 In?

Introduction ‘The bending of thin elastic plates or slabs sub- jected, to loads normal to their surfaces has been "studied by many idvestigators = A large number of specific problems have been solved by ‘exact or approximate means, and these results are available. (See, for instance?) Exact and cer tain approximate methods are frequently difficult to apply except to structures where some sym- metry exists and wherd a simple loading is used. ‘The finite difference method, however, is readily adaptable to rectangular plates having any of the usual edge conditions and subjected to any loading. In Denmark, as early as 1918, N. J. Nielsen applied the finite difference method to the solution of plate problems. In his book he has analyzed the problem in considerable detail and has given numerical solutions for number of cases. H. Marcus published an excellent book # “Germany in 1924 s subject i2e10» ci sthich wth some rearrangement i the same a (14). a ~—This-second-method is-easily-adepted-to-de- riving expressions involving nonuniform spacings, ‘may be replaced with V, ao thet moment-free boundaries, ete. It was. applied to “ 2 obtain all of the load-deflection arrays shown in = ea a Figures 39 through 59, which were required in the Ma Mt Me MeatbtVaghi=0. tim of the imublane saved by this mono- (26.01) graph.34 Where boundary ¢onditisns involve « reaction, the loud P may be replaced by. the ‘net, load, (P—R), which is the difference between load and redotion: Note that R représedits & coticentrated force whose positive direction is opposite to that, of p._R, and R,, on the other hand, represent intensities of -shesring’‘eactions whose: positive directions conform to V, and V,. Relations connecting the, deflections with mo? mente’ and with. shears. are’ given in Figures 60 through 64. It should be noted that shears com-, puted by finite difference methods aro inherently leas accurate than moments. ‘This is because the shears, are functions of odd, numbered difference. ‘quotients which are determined by. grid spacing. double the value found in’the.even numbered quotients which define the moments. Application to Plate Fitéd Along Three Biges and Free Along the Fowth ‘As an example of the use of this general method, ite application to the problem of a plate fixed along three edges and free along the fourth is given below. ‘The a/b ratio of 1/4 has been Used to illustrate use of the 20 supplementary equations. Loads I, TI, ‘and TV only are included. ‘The plate is divided into grid elements and tho rid points numbered eystaniatically for identifica... tion. Layout. of Figure 66, shows. the « siéthod used it this dase." Because of symmetry of the plate and losding about the line x=a, points which are symmetrical about this line will have, equal daflections ‘and ‘ere, therefore, numbered alike. ‘This reduces considerably the ‘number of ‘unknown deflections t6’be determined. With r=1/4 and 1=0.2 the left-hand side of ‘each of the load-deflection relations yields an array ‘of numericel coefficients corresponding to the type of point it represents. “These values have been computed for typical points and they are shown in Figure 65. ‘They are used in writing the left- hand members of the simultaneous equations. Solution of these equations determines the de- flections. One equation ‘must be written for exch grid point having an unknown deflection. The equa- tion corresponding to any point’ is formed es follows: Select tho array of loed-deflection co- ~ efficients having edge conditions and MOMENTS. AND. REACTIONS FOR RECTANGULAR PLATES. ‘spicings which correspond to those of the given poiat. b. Orient the focal point of this array at the given point..." ce. Multiply the. unknown which represents ‘he defection of each active gid point by'the ding coefficient. 4d. Equate the sum of these prodiicts to the load tarin for the given point. For example, for Point 45 the array at (b) of ‘Figure 65 must be usod in order that the free edges * correspond properly. "Then, following the pro- ‘cedure outlined above, the left-hand member of the equation for Point 45 is: F256 ac 32H. 1088W nt 28.8 Wa —68w4-+ (1669-256) w= 50.604 $32W—1088Wu + 28.804. ‘Noting that Rz=0' slong’ the free edge it is seen ‘that ‘inthis case''the ‘general ‘expression for the right-hand terms is always (Py/th')(hY/D). Since “svthese load termis‘are'to be expressed as coefficients ‘of phYD, it remains to évaluate tho Pa/th* in terms of p'for each point and each loading. At Point 45 the right-hend members for Loads I and ‘IWansy be obtained by direct application of (12). ‘However, « discontinuity océurs in the magnitude ‘of “Load 'II'within“the gridelements adjoining Point :45.'°\For’ this reason,”"the more general ‘method expressed by (11) must be employed. In particular for Load IT, the elements 45-35~ 136-46 and 4546-56-55 carry no load, and accord- ingly they make no contribution. to Py. The elements 4544-34-35 end 45-56-54-44 cach ‘carry an equal portion of the uniform load. ‘Under the assumptions leading to (11) it is found, by statics, that the contribution of exch of these elements to Py is ph'/l44. Hence, Pu=ph'/72 and Pa/rh*=p/18. ‘The complete set of 30 equations end the right- hhand (load) terms are shown.as two matrices in Figure 66." Simultaneous solution of the eque- tions establishes a set of deflections for each of the 30 grid points, corresponding to each load. These results are tabulated in the upper portion of Figure 67. ‘The 20 supplementary equations used to deter- ‘mine the deflections of the row of points at y=th fare set up in s similar manner.
