Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss in detail the design approach to shear buckling resistance evaluation for corrugated web being a part of a steel beam exposed to fire. Design/methodology/approach It is based on the interaction between the local and global elastic instability failure modes as well as on the possible yielding of the whole web cross-section during fire. Findings New formulae, adequate for specification of the suitable shear buckling coefficients, depend not only on the web slenderness but also on the temperature of structural steel. Originality/value The methodology proposed by the authors can be added to the current European standard recommendations given in EN 1993-1-2 as a well-justified design algorithm helpful in reliable evaluation of a safety level for steel beams with slender corrugated webs subject to fire exposure. It seems to be highly desirable because, at present, there are no detailed instructions in this field.

The study reports the investigations into the effect produced by flexural stiffness of end stiffeners on the design buckling resistance of the sine wave webs of girders. Experimental investigations were concerned with load displacement paths in sinusoidally corrugated web girders, composed of structural items and made to the full scale . The phenomena occurring in experimental investigations were represented using the Finite Element Method. In numerical models based on FEM analysis, the same failure modes of webs that were found in experimental investigations into corrugated web girders were accounted for. FEM numerical analysis was performed for girder models with webs 500, 1000, 1250 and 1500 mm in height, made of corrugated sheet metal 2, 2.5 and 3 mm in thickness. On the basis of laboratory tests and FEM analysis, a new method for estimating design shear buckling resistance for girders with semirigid and rigid end stiffeners was proposed. The method relies on the determination of interactive buckling resistance. The solution presented in this study was compared with formulas currently used for buckling resistance estimation. It was shown that the use of girder rigid end stiffeners produces in increase in shear buckling resistance up to 11%. Conclusions were drawn and recommendations were made with respect to the sizing of sine wave corrugated web girders with semirigid and rigid end stiffeners.

Engineers have realized that corrugated webs enormously increase their load carrying capacity as well as stability against buckling and can result in very economical design. In this paper, the results of the experiments conducted on cold-formed steel beam with encased trapezoidally corrugated webs with a view to study their strength and ductility are presented. The ductility of cold-formed steel beam with plain web and corrugated web is compared with that of encased trapezoidally corrugated web. Data presented include the load versus deflection curves, load versus strain curves, strength capacity, displacement ductility indices and moment versus curvature curves. It is found that the beam with encased trapezoidally web not only increases the moment carrying capacity but also the ductility. The results showed that the Super elastic property of encased corrugated web beams enhances the usage of it in the earthquake resistant structures.

This paper presents the results of experimental investigations performed on beams with corrugated webs. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the geometric parameters of the sinusoidal web on the behavior of I-beams subjected to four-point bending. Special attention was paid to the effects of web thickness and wave geometry on the deflection of beams. The obtained failure modes of particular test samples are presented. Reference has also been made to the determined standard load capacities based on Annex D of the EC3 standard. In order to compare the performance of beams with corrugated webs, the results for beams with flat webs of the same thickness of web sheets are also presented.

To investigate the mechanical behavior and catenary action of restrained steel beam under fire, experiments were performed on five H-section restrained steel beams exposed to ISO-834 standard fire. At first, mechanical property tensile tests were performed on 3 room-temperature specimens and 8 high-temperature specimens, and variation laws of the material properties of steel materials with temperature rising were investigated by the high-temperature steady-state tests. Through the fire experiments, the temperature data, mid-span deflections and failure modes of all specimens were obtained. The experimental results show that: (1) a restrained steel beam is prone to in-plane buckling failure under fire; (2) the loading ratio n and axial restraint stiffness Kx have great influences on the catenary action of restrained steel beam under fire; (3) when the loading ratio n is constant, the greater the axial restraint stiffness Kx, the later the catenary action occurs; when the axial restraint stiffness Kx is constant, the greater the loading ratio n, the earlier the catenary action occurs.

Three kinds of shear buckling parameters of corrugated steel web beam under high temperature of fire in different time are analyzed and the high temperature effect on structural steel property is taken into account, the expressions of local buckling parameter, overall buckling parameter and interactive buckling parameter are proposed and their variation trends with the high temperature change are analyzed, a recommendation is proposed in order to provide more accurate predictions for the load-carrying capability status of corrugated steel web beam under high temperature, the buckling parameters variation should be unbiased estimated above all. Numerical results show that high temperature has obvious effect on the buckling parameter changes of the corrugated web steel beam.

Concrete filled tubular columns are widely used all over the world, due to their significant advantages, including attractive appearance, structural efficiency, reduced column footing, fast construction and high fire resistance without external fire protection. An experimental study has been carried out on the performance of joints between steel beams and concrete filled tubular columns in simple construction under fire conditions. The failure modes of the test specimens were always in the joint regions. Therefore, if the joints are appropriately designed and protected so that they possess sufficient strength, it is possible for the steel beam to develop catenary action and survive very high temperatures even without fire protection.

The paper presents a study of the transverse bending behaviour of corrugated web beam with and without web openings. Examined steel beams consist of two flanges and a thin triangularly corrugated web, connected by automatic welding. In the literature, the influence of web opening over transverse load carrying capacity was dealt with mostly for steel beams with plane, sinusoidal and trapezoidal corrugated webs, so researches of beams with triangularly corrugated webs were found out to be very limited. A parametric study is carried out for various web slenderness and corrugation densities. A general-purpose finite element analysis software ABAQUS was used. The corrugation densities adopted in this study represent practical geometries, which are commonly used for such structures in building practice. Models with and without web openings were analysed and examined in terms of load-deformation characteristics and ultimate web shear resistance. Recommendations are given for the practical design of corrugated web beams weakened by circular openings.


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.

The plastic hinge is a key factor in the ductile and plastic design of structures and an important basis for the seismic strengthening of structures. The formation and behavior of plastic hinges is critical for the seismic performance of an entire structure. The relocation of plastic hinges away from the beam end is an effective way of addressing brittle failure. In this paper, the cause of the shear buckling failure of prefabricated steel beams with corrugated webs and the strain variation at the flanges of steel beams are theoretically analyzed through structural tests. Based on the analysis results, a local strengthening method is proposed, and the effects of the beam sizes and the strengthening steel plate on the plastic hinges are obtained. In addition, a calculation method for determining the size of the strengthening steel plate that promotes the relocation of the plastic zone away from the beam end is given, a design method for plastic hinge relocation is proposed based on the test data, and its validity is verified.
