Abstract:

The basis of this study is the serviceability requirement which arouse long after the structural erection has been completed. Beams with web openings can be competitive in such cases, even though more alternatives to solid web beams such as stub girders, trusses etc. are available and height limitation is common problem faced by designers in multistoried buildings due to economic requirements and aesthetical considerations. Substantial spaces are normally required to enable the passage for large pipes and ducts beneath steel beams which leads to uneconomic floor heights. Though web openings could lead to a significant decrease in beam’s load carrying capacity depending on the adopted openings shape, size and location but can also be very helpful and important from the point of economy. So this study is concerned with the influence of the web opening on the strength of compressive elements and web crippling strength of steel sections. And the parametric analysis to be focused on size and location of opening. The paper summarizes the relevant study of provisions as given in the corresponding design standard and software based finite element analysis carried out by different authors and review the problem to arrive at meaningful conclusion for the study. And suggestion regarding the scope of further work.
