Numerical Evaluation of Failure Modes in Perforated Beams with Hexagonal Openings
Perforated and castellated steel beams are widely used due to their high structural efficiency; however, the presence of web openings introduces complex failure modes, such as Vierendeel bending and web-post buckling, which are not observed in solid-web sections. In this study, the influence of geometric parameters on...
