[en] This paper presents a procedure for computing approximate solution of bending Kirchhoff plate with an equilibrium finite element model. The accuracy of the equilibrium approach is evaluated through the concept of error estimator. Especially, a dual analysis by finite elements which leads to lower and upper bounds of the exact solution is presented in numerical examples.
