Buckling Analysis of Cellular Steel Beams with and without Stiffeners
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Cellular beams became popular day by day as an efficient structural form in steel construction since their introduction. Their design and making process provides greater flexibility in beam proportioning for strength, depth, size and location of circular holes. The advantages of manufacturing these beams is to increase overall beam depth, the moment of inertia and section modulus, which results in greater strength and rigidity. Cellular beams are used as primary or secondary floor beams in order to achieve long spans and service integration. They are also used as roof beams, and are the best solution for curved roof applications, combining weight savings with a low-cost manufacturing process. Even though it had many advantages, some failure modes are associated with this type due to the presence of openings which is not presented on solid beams. Stiffeners are the best solutions to overcome the failures and resist buckling of beams. The first part of the research program focuses on the finite element modelling of cellular steel beams with and without stiffeners in ANSYS software. In the second part of the research, finite element analysis program is used to perform elastic buckling analysis and predict critical loads of all steel cellular beams with and without stiffeners
