Seven simply supported steel beams were tested to explain the effect of strengthening by external prestressing strands. All of the beams have the same steel section, clear span length and the strengthening samples which implemented by two external prestressing strands. The tested beams are divided into two categories according to existing of external prestressing strands, the first category consists of one steel beam as a reference, while, the second group deals with steel beams strengthening by external prestressing strands and consists of six steel beams divided according to the eccentricity location of prestressing strand with jacking stress (815 MPa). From experimental results, it was found that the moment curvature curves behavior for the tested beams are stiffer and with less ductility than the reference beams and the ultimate moment capacity is increased with increasing the eccentricity location. While, the maximum radius of curvature at bottom flange decreases with increasing the eccentricity location as compare with the reference beam.

Abstract Thickness reduction due to uniform corrosion increases the tendency of lateral torsional buckling (LTB) of open cross-sections and it reduces the moment capacity of the beam. The effect of the various corrosion cases on the LTB moment capacity (M b,rd) of the I-beams are investigated in this paper. An analytical framework for patch corroded I-beams is introduced to provide a guideline for simulating the nonlinear lateral torsional buckling behaviour of patch corroded simple beams. Hence the effect of different corrosion scenarios to reduce the buckling reduction factor (η LT) is investigated by conducting a parametric study. Twelve different beam lengths were considered to obtain different non-dimensional slenderness ratios (λ LT) in this parametric study. The degraded buckling curves were obtained for each corrosion scenarios.


Practice of castellated beams (CBs) or perforated beams for several structures speedily gaining petition. This is because of the increased depth in the segment, high strength to weight ratio, light in weight, easy to erect, economical, and stronger. The principal advantages of the castellated beam are an attractive provision, an increase in vertical bending stiffness, & ease of service provision. The CBs is prepared from its virgin sections i.e. I beam by cutting it in a zigzag or any suitable cutting pattern and again rejoined it by welding therefore depth of the resulting section increases. The load-carrying capacity of the parent I section is increased with the same quantity of material and weight, due to an increase in depth of beams. Web post-buckling and lateral-torsional buckling failure occur when these beams are subjected to loading, this is the effect of an increase in depth of the castellated beams. There are five basic failure modes associated with castellated steel beams that need to be taken care of 1) Development of flexure mechanism. 2) Lateral-torsional buckling 3) Vierendeel mechanism 4) rupture of the welded joint in a web post 5) shear buckling of a web post. Therefore, in this research paper, an effort has been made to estimate the torsional moment capacity castellated beam for hexagonal or honeycomb opening with 300, 450, 600 & sinusoidal opening with different fillet radii.
