Neue Biegeschlankheitsdiagramme für Platten und Kragplatten nach EC2

New span to depth ratio diagrams for plates and cantilever plates according to EC2

Efficient span-to-depth ratio diagrams, based on [1, 2], have been developed for simply supported, continuous, and cantilever plates. The values of the diagrams provide key parameters that can be used to analyze the plate elements and to complete indirect checks for deflection according to [3, 4]. The following article presents the diagrams and examples of how they can be used.
