The object of the work is numerical analysis of the state of stress in the plate with holes made along its diagonal, which was subjected to a plane load. The plate was subjected to biaxial loading both in the direction of the y axis, i.e. Py = +/-100 kN and the z axis, i.e. Pz = +/-100 kN. It was shown that the highest concentration of reduced stress occurred in a plate with two holes in the case of load in the form of pure shear (Py = -100 kN, Pz = 100 kN). The pure shear load case proved to be the least favourable from the point of view of straining the plate with holes.
