[en] Equilibrium plate elements are not, in their simplest version, able to take account of a distributed pressure. A particular solution has then to be added. One such solution was develpped by Sander, but is only suitable for elements with first degree moments, as it makes use of the side Kirchhoff loads. This paper is devoted to the construction of a particular solution which is equilibrated by corner loads only and, therefore, compatible with the simplest plate element, that is Morley's one
