Large circular opening in flat rectangular plate
Large circular opening in flat rectangular plate
(OP)
The only reference in section 8 div 1 appears in UG39(c)(3).
This is my case
1-The opening is > 1/2 short span
2-The opening is not central on the plate
3-I may have two openings on the plate
If I decide to use appendix 14, is it the right analysis for this situation.Is this covered elsewhere in the code.
Registration authorities in Alberta Canada want to see some FEA. How does one validate the results of FEA.

RE: Large circular opening in flat rectangular plate
To interpret the results of FEA normally Div.2 is adopted (with allowables per Div.1).
