4.0 Design of Ply wood:

C/C spacing of Primary GTX beam i.e., span of ply, Sc = 200 mm

Effective span lpl = Sc = 200 mm

UDL on ply, w (per metre height) = 35.34 kN/m

w = 35.34 kN / m

Sc Sc Sc Sc Sc Sc Sc Sc

Check for Bending Moment

Design bending moment, Md = w.lpl2 / 10 = 0.141 kN-m/m
Bending moment resistance, Mr = σb,pl*Zpl = 1.26 kN-m/m Hence Safe

Check for Shear force

Design shear force, Vd = 0.6 * w * lpl = 4.24 kN/m
Shear resistance, Vr = σv,pl*Apl = 4.55 kN/m Hence Safe

Check for deflection

2
Elastic Rigidity, EI = = 0.78 kN-m / m
Actual deflection, δmax = 0.0066 x w.lpl4 / E.I = 0.50 mm UDL on continuous beam

Referring section 2.7 from book "Form work : A guide to good practice", Appendix-1
Allowable deflection, = Span/270 i.e., lpl / 270 = 0.74 mm

0.50 mm < 0.74 mm Hence Safe
