Tension in steel plate -Ligament strength
Tension in steel plate -Ligament strength
(OP)
Does anyone have a reference for stress analysing a STEEL plate with a number of relatively large holes closely spaced and in a straight line line perpendicular to the Tension axis?

ASME VIII Div.1 essentially requires, for the calculation of shell thickness, the allowable stress in tension to be reduced by the efficiency of the ligament = 1 - h.dia/pitch.
The code also provides rules for unequal spacing, holes on diagonal lines and multiple hole rows.
