Abstract:

© 2019, Korean Society of Steel Construction. Steel I girders with corrugated webs are appropriate alternatives for normal flat-web girders in steel structures since they provide lighter and smaller beam features in steel design. Based on the existing literature, the corrugated web beams (CWBs) provide many advantages for structural applications. In this study, a series of numerical analyses have been performed in order to investigate the structural behaviour of steel I girders with corrugated web profile and to compare their mechanical performance with normal welded beams. Theory of Ultimate Limit State design has been adopted in accordance with AS4100 (Steel structures, Standard Australia, Sydney, 1998) along with considering geometric and material non-linearity in the numerical analyses in SAP2000. Comparing the results of the numerical investigation, merits of using corrugated welded beams (CWBs) over normal welded beams (WBs) have become apparent. Moreover, investigations regarding force–displacement relationship and buckling analysis of the webs were carried out and presented to further validate the advantages of using corrugated web beams. CWBs have been used in some parts of Australia without detailed information about their mechanical properties. Thus, based on the outcomes of this study, CWB table for dimensions and cross sectional properties has been developed and proposed for practical applications.
