A3.2. Rectangular Plate with Hollows
Problem Description
A two dimensional plate, subjected to transverse loading is examined (Figure A3.2.1).
Geometry, Properties and Loads
The plate of polygon shape has 20cm thickness and its external boundary is fixed while the
internal boundary is free. Material is concrete C20/25 (Modulus of Elasticity =29GPa and
Poisson ratio 0.2). The plate is subjected to its self-weight (ε
c
=25.0kN/m
3
) plus 2kN/m
2
uniformly distributed load normal to its plane.

Fixed boundary conditions
Results Comparison
Maximum values of vertical displacements obtained from ScadaPro analysis are presented
in Table A3.2.1 respectively and compared with those obtained from Sap2000 and Abaqus
software. Moreover, in Figures A3.2.2- A3.2.3 contourlines of bending moments Mxx and
Myy are presented.
