Pucher Chart Example

[Yochael1996]

Hi everyone,

I am doing a project investing the computation methods of the moment on the slabs. I am aware that Pucher Chart is a famous tool in the old days and I am trying to get to know about it.
However, it is kinda confusing for me, and I can barely find any illustration online. Can anyone provide an example for me, please? If there is no example, some illustrations are also appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Yochael

It's not easy to find these charts in literature. The best source of information on this topic is "Einflussfelder Elastischer Platten: Influence Surfaces of Elastic Plates" written by A. Pucher himself. Unfortunately this book is in German but you may find useful formulas and illustrations there.
