How to calculate reinforcement for holes drilled in a flat cover
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts: when there are holes drilled in a flat cover, with no pipes passing through, or only a cover placed on top, how should the reinforcement be calculated?
In the head calculation for component design using SW6 software, when the flat cover type is selected, there are restrictions on the size of holes that can be made in the flat cover head.
It can be calculated as a flat cover or flange among the components. Uniform distribution across the span
In flat cover calculations, after selecting the type of flat cover, there is a field below for entering the diameter of the opening in the same cross-section; just enter that value
The problem is that this opening doesn’t have a pipe, so it’s not possible to enter pipe data.

Ugh, what about the diameter of the holes in the same cross-section there? Is it necessary to use pipes for those holes? Don’t openings have a diameter?
Are you using calculations based on the head, and then selecting a flat cover?
Does that mean filling it in is enough, and there’s no need to calculate reinforcement for the openings?
