Abstract
This work experimentally investigates the influence of different opening sizes and shapes, different steel materials and structural configurations on the ultimate strength of steel plates. A series of experiments have been carried out for unstiffened plates and stiffened panels having an opening of different shape and size in addition to different constructional steels; high tensile and mild steel. The effect on the ultimate load carrying capacity of the opening sizes and shapes, different steels and structural configurations, post-collapse deformations and strain energy density are investigated and analysed. Several relationships of the ultimate stress ratio, ultimate load carrying capacity ratio for different steels as a function of the residual breadth ratio are presented and discussed. A relationship showing the effect of different structural configurations on the ultimate load carrying capacity ratio is presented. Several observations and concluding remarks are derived from the experimental results.
