Local Buckling Flexural Strength of Webs with Openings
Abstract
One phase of an ongoing research study of the behaviour of web elements in flexural members is summarized. The unique aspect of this study is the focus on the influence of web openings on the structural behaviour. Flexure, shear, web crippling, and combinations thereof are being studied, this paper concentrates on the flexural behaviour. A test program, which concentrated on industry standard sections, was conducted. The results are presented, along with the correlation of tested moment capacity and computed moment capacity. The computed capacities were determined using recognized US design practices. Suggested refinements to the design practices are also discussed. © 1994.
