Abstract – The majority of existing literature on
castellated beam is focused on Simply supported
analysis, but this paper provides new analytical
solution for calculation critical buckling load by the
cantilever action. In Simply supported castellated beam
the maximum deflection takes place at the mid span of
the Beam, but in cantilever castellated beam maximum
deflection on the free end. By experimentally it was
observed that the value of web shear deformation on
the critical buckling load of castellated beam increase
with the increase in cross sectional area of the tee
section and depth of web opening, but decrease with the
length and web thickness. The experimental study of the
castellated beam is verified on the cantilever action in
the castellated beam the buckling capacity of the web
post with fillet corner hexagonal web opening are
compared with the circular opening by this opening
service pipe can also have passed through this.
Comparison Between Castellated Beam and Cellular
Beam is executed by different test. A concentrated load
or reaction point applied directly over a web-post cause
this failure mode, such a failure mode could be
prevented if sufficient web reinforcing stiffeners are
provided in castellated beam we have to use hexagonal,
Square opening and cellular has to kept circular web.
Use of Castellated beam for various structure
rapidly getting appeal. This happens due to increased
depth of section without any addition of weight, high
strength to weight ratio, their lower maintenance and
painting cost. The limitation of castellated beam is
Stress concentration occurs near the perforation and
the shear carrying capacity is reduced. Stress
concentration may be reduced by making perforation
near the neutral axis where the stresses are negligible.
Key Words: structural, castellated beam, FEA.
1. INTRODUCTION
Cutting and re-welding a solid web steel beam
with perforation is a castellated beam not only have higher
bending moment capacity but also more effective in terms
of passing service wires, pipes and ventilating ducts
through opening. Failure of web opening depends on
opening shape, opening dimensions, the distance between
opening, web post thickness. Modes of Failure -
1. Flexural failure of the section
2. Lateral torsional buckling of beam
3. Local buckling of web or flange
4. Rupture of weld in the web post
5. Vierendeel failure of perforation of section
6. Web post buckling
The cutting of castellated beam may be hexagonal,
square, circular, fillet corner hexagon. Three group of
castellated steel beam were analyzed to show effect of
opening shape on the web post buckling behavior.
Castellated beam are such structural members which are
made by flame cutting a rolled beam along its center line
and then rejoin the two halves by welding so that the
overall depth is enhanced by 50% to increase structural
performance against bending.
Reasons for fabricating-
a. The increase in sectional height that result in the
enhancement of moment of inertia, sectional
modulus, stiffness and flexural resistance of the
sections.
b. Decrease the weight of profile which in turns, cut
down the weight of whole structure and
economized on construction work.
c. There is no need of plate girder.
d. The passage of service wires through the web
opening
Castellated beams are used as a structural member in
multistory building, commercial and industrial building,
ware house and portal frames. Consequently, various
theoretical and experimental studies reported in a
deferent failure modes have been identified and
investigated Vierendeel collapse mechanism, buckling of a
web post, web weld failure, flexural failure, lateral
torsional buckling, shear failure. The Vierendeel
mechanism can be defined as Dzcontinuous formation of
plastic hinges at the ends of four tee sections above and
below opening under the combinations of bending
moment, local axial force and local shear force.dz The
