How do I calculate deflection on a rectangular slab subjected to uniform pressure?
More specifically, I have a simply supported floor plan of 54″ by 30″, made of plywood, and is subjected to 0.12 psi (pounds per square inch). I want to know the maximum vertical deflection of this slab.
Say the thickness of the plywood is 1/2″, simply supported all around the edges, and the modulus of elasticity is assumed to be 1.5 x 10^6 psi. Room temperature is about 20 Celcius, humidity 50%, 1 atmospheric pressure.
The longer side is the length and the shorter side is the width…genereally. I didn’t know that matter.
