VERIFICATION EXAMPLES FOR SCADA Pro

Software Verification Examples for SCADA Pro 26 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. (642 Shell Finite Elements) Figure A3.2.1. Rectangular plate with hollows. Assumptions During analysis, Kirchhoff theory of plates has been adopted. Technical Features in ScadaPro Tested  Analysis of plate elements under transverse loading  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.
