Abstract: We present the results of tests on five different types of steel plates subjected to static load under boundary 
conditions simulating those observed in the field. The test consisted of setting the plates on two supports 
8 cm apart and then applying load to the centre of the plate. It was found that the maximum load ranged 
from 30 to 60 kN depending on the plate design. Such loads are significantly lower than those obtained from 
tests in which the plate is loaded against a flat surface.
