| Abstract | In this study, the finite difference method is used to analyze a square plate supported on four sides by beams of equal stiffness for three different boundary conditions. The classical plate equation is reduced to a set of linear simultaneous equations, in terms of unknown values of the deflection, and solved on an IBM computer. A simply supported square plate on rigid beams is analyzed for four mesh divisions. The accuracy of each mesh size is obtained from comparison with a known analytical solution. Using the most appropriate mesh size, the effect of the beam/plate stiffness ratio is determined for a simply supported plate on elastic beams. Furthermore an attempt is made to present an analysis of a plate monolithically connected to the beams, considering the torsional restraint offered by the beam. Results are compared with the ACI (1963) code recommendations. |
