Numerical Analysis of CASTALLED Beam Using Ansys

Abstract

Using ANSYS WORKBENCH 16.0 for Finite Element Analysis, this dissertation examines various failure patterns and the impact of web openings on different structural characteristics. The current study examines the static evaluation of single and double solid web, single and double web castellated beams as well as the nonlinear time historical analysis of these beams. singleIn this study, steel beams with , double and single solid webs, double and single web castellated beams are designed and studied using finite element analysis. This shows that castellated beams have a higher load carrying capability than their parent beam sections up to the serviceability limit (i.e. solid beams) Lateral torsional buckling is the primary mode of failure, and it is mitigated in double solid web and double web castellated beams as compared to single solid and single web castellated beams.
