A series of compressive tests of high tensile steel stiffened plates with multiple openings have been conducted. Different degrees of openings represented by different sets of openings are considered, and their effect on the ultimate carrying capacity is explored. The results are discussed, and several conclusions are stated. Based on the experimental results, several relationships predicting the ultimate axial capacity of high tensile steel stiffened plates with multiple openings as a function of remaining volume and degree of openings are developed. Also, a failure assessment diagram of stiffened plates with openings is defined. Finally, a comparison with other published experimental results for deteriorated mild steel plates with multiple opening is performed.
