DELTA PLATES SWL 800 TONS - PRROF LOAD + THICKNESS CHANGE

[Hani Al Masry]

Dear Experts 

We need to fabricate DELTA PLATE WITH SWL 800 - WITH 3RD PARTY CERTIFICATION AS PER BELOW 

I NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS THE PROOF TEST REQUIRED FOR TESTING IT AND CERTIFY IT AND ACCORDING TO WHICH STANDARDS 

I NEED TO KNOW IF WE CAN REPLACE THE 150 MM MAIN PLATE WITH 3 PLATES 50 MM X 3 NOS. AND HOW AND AND ACCORDING TO WHICH STANDARDS TOO

Regards,

H.A

You will not find the answer in a code of practice. This is a question of design and you need to raise a concession request to the client and designer. I would not expect such a request to be granted since I doubt if it works structurally, but that requires the person who understands the purpose of the plate and its loadings to consider. You need to clarify to them how you will bond the three plates together.

 

Your job as fabricator is to perform the job according to design. I have investigated failures caused by fabricators thinking that they can make such substitutions without understanding the structural consequences of the change they have made.
