  1. Plate Bending of Steel Column Caps MAE 5700 Final Project Daniel Margolin MEng Structural Engineering Abdul Al-Mishwat MEng Structural Engineering

  2. What is a Column Cap?

  3. Our Problem 10 ” 1 ”

  4. Simplification 8 ”

  5. Plate Theory • Assumes out-of-plane components are negligible. • Normal to mid-surface remains normal after deformation. • Thin plates: > t > • Kirchhoff • Thin Plates • Reissner-Mindlin • Thick Plates • Accounts for shear deformations. • Normal to mid-surface does not remain normal after deformation. • Moderately thick plates: < t

  6. Bi-Harmonic Equation of Plate Flexure: Thin Plate Approximation:
