Numerical calculation of the collapse load of a reinforced concrete plate is considered. Mathematical programming formulations are derived by using finite element representation. The plate is assumed to obey the square yield criteria. It is shown that good lower bound solutions can be obtained on a systematic basis. Upper bound solutions are approximated result of yield‐line theory. An example of the square built‐in plate loaded uniformly is given.
