Input Data:

Light Duty Grating Size = 1-1/43/16

Bearing Bar Spac., s = 1.1875 in.
Steel Type = Carbon
Grating Clear Span, L = 4.0833 ft.
Uniform Live Load, wLL = 346.36 psf
Concentrated Load, P = 0 lbs./ft.
Allow. Deflection Ratio = L/200

= 4"

= 1-3/16"
Light Duty Welded
Steel Grating

L/2 P = 0 lbs/ft. width.

w(total) = 355 psf

Clear Span L = 4.083 ft.

Nomenclature for Grating and Loads

Results:

Properties:
Grating Weight, wg = 8.64 psf
Mod. of Elasticity, E = 29000 ksi Fb = 29000 ksi for Carbon Steel
Grating, Sx = 0.493 in.^3/ft. Sx = (Bar Thk.)*(Bar Ht.)^2/6*(12"/s)
Grating, Ix = 0.308 in.^4/ft. Ix = (Bar Thk.)*(Bar Ht.)^3/12*(12"/s)

Flexural Stress:
Unif. Load, w(total) = 355.00 plf w(total) = wg + wLL
Total Moment, Mt = 739.89 ft.-lbs./ft. Mt = w(total)*L^2/8 + P*L/4
Actual Stress, fb(max) = 17.99 ksi fb(max) = (Mt*12)/1000/Sx
Allow. Stress, Fb(allow) = 18.00 ksi Fb(allow) = 18 ksi for Carbon Steel Type
fb(max) <= Fb(allow), O.K.
Deflection:
Actual D(max) = 0.2423 in. D(max) = 5*(wLL*12)*(L*12)^4/(384*E*Ix) + P*(L*12)^3/(48*E*Ix)
Actual D(ratio) = L/202 D(ratio) = (L*12)/D(max)
Allowable D(ratio) = L/200 Allowable D(ratio) = L/200 (user defined and selected)
