scholarly journals Experimental and Finite Element Method of Castellated Steel Beam with and without Hexagonal web opening

Castellated beams are made from the conventional I section by the process named as Castellation Process. As of late, broad examination on these castellated steel beams has been directed, including various shapes in web openings. The primary objective of these examination works was to assess and dissect its ideal opening sizes and shapes arrangement. For the most part castellated beam are given hexagonal, round and square formed openings. The finite element investigation is most favored technique for comprehension the flexural strength of castellated beams. In this examination, experimental and numerical displaying approach is utilized for deciding spacing between openings on hexagonal castellated beam. ANSYS software was utilized for the investigation. Opening edge 60o with various opening dispersing 0.15d and 0.25d have beam utilized. Investigation was selected steel beam with and without web openings of ISMB 150 and solid ISMB200 section. Results demonstrated that the castellated bar with hexagonal opening indicated more load carrying capacity and less significant deflection contrasted with solid beam.

The urgent need for a web opening in the pretensioned inverted T-beams after the construction for essential services causes local cracking around the opening which leads to decrease in stiffness and load carrying capacity. Therefore, strengthening the vicinity of the opening is essential to restore the loss in load carrying capacity of the beam using GFRP. To study the deflection of pretentioned inverted T-beam with web opening, three-dimensional finite element beam models are developed before and after GFRP strengthening using the finite element analysis (FEA). Modeling methodology and nonlinear analysis approach in ANSYS are presented. The results obtained from the FEA beam model are compared with the test data in terms of load-deflection curve. It has been concluded that FEA models are good representations for GFRP strengthened beams with web openings in terms of the number of elements, structural details, and, especially, reasonably accurate results in general.

Nonlinear finite element model analysis of the casing plug joints of steel tubular has been realized by ANSYS software. The law of load-carrying capability and stiffness of joint are separately gained by changing the ratio of length and diameter (R/L) and the ratio of the casing length and the main tube length (l/L). The influence of the casing thickness on the load-carrying capability and stiffness are also discussed. The results indicated that the load-carrying capability and stiffness of the joints both increase with the ratio(R/L) increment and the ratio of the casing length and main tube length (l/L). When the main tube thickness is equal to casing thickness, the load-carrying capacity of joints achieves the most.

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.

Steel I-shaped beams with web openings of shapes like hexagonal, circular and rectangular at regular intervals have been used since last 60–70 years. Therefore aim of this paper is to examine the behaviour of steel I-beams with rectangular web openings by performinganexperimental and parametric study. A parametric study based on finite element analysis consists of effect of fillet radius, aspect ratio of rectangular openings, stiffeners position around the openings and effect of positions of openings on load carrying capacities of steel beam with rectangular web openings was carried out by using a commercial finite element software ANSYS v.12. An overall study of such type of beam was carried out and results shows that rectangular openings having fillet radius either 2 times thickness of web or 25 mm (whichever is minimum), aspect ratio of 1.6 and reinforcement either in the form of horizontal or vertical stiffeners around the web openings found to be very effective. The fillet radius and stiffeners also affect the stress distribution around the corner regions of openings. Load carrying capacities of perforated beams are almost equal to plain-webbed beams, when openings are placed within middle two-third(neutral zone) of the span.

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study which was carried out to examine the influence of the size and the layout of the web openings on the load carrying capacity and the serviceability of reinforced concrete deep beams. Five full-scale simply supported reinforced concrete deep beams with two large web openings created in shear regions were tested up to failure. The shear span to overall depth ratio was (1.1). Square openings were located symmetrically relative to the midspan section either at the midpoint or at the interior boundaries of the shear span. Two different side dimensions for the square openings were considered, mainly, (200) mm and (230) mm. The strength results proved that the shear capacity of the deep beam is governed by the size and location of web openings. The experimental results indicated that the reduction of the shear capacity may reach (66%). ABAQUS finite element software program was used for simulation and analysis. Numerical analyses provided un-conservative estimates for deep beam load carrying capacity in the range between (5-21%). However, the maximum scatter of the finite element method predictions for first diagonal and first flexural cracking loads was not exceeding (17%). Also, at service load the numerical of midspan deflection was greater than the experimental values by (9-18%).


This paper study about the analytical behaviour of Concrete beam encased with Steel castellated beam as composite member with various web opening section of the castellated beam as optimization of section by its maximum Load carrying capacity and deflection.

Cold formed steel differ from hot rolled steel by its lesser thickness and weight. The cold formed steel applicable in roof purlin, pipe racks and wall panels etc. Due its lesser wall thickness the cold formed steel member subjected to buckling. The enhancement of load carrying capacity of the cold formed steel member can be achieved by external strengthening of CFRP. In this study cold formed channel members connected back to back to form I shaped cross section using screws. These built up beam members were 300mm, 400mm and 500mm in length with 100mm screw spacing and edge distance of 50mm were chosen for testing. CFRP fabric cut according to length, width of built up beams and wrapped outer surface of beam using epoxy resin. Experiments were carried out in two sets firstly plain built up beams and secondly CFRP wrapped beams. The test results shows that increased load carrying capacity and reduction in deflection due to CFRP strengthening. Experimental results were compared with AISI standards which are in good agreement. Experimental results shows that CFRP strengthening is economic and reliable.
