Abstract

Height limitations are not uncommon in multi-storey buildings due to economic requirements and
esthetical considerations. Substantial spaces are normally required to enable the passage of large pipes and ducts
beneath steel beams leading to uneconomic floor heights. The most adopted solution for this issue is the use of steel
beam web openings to provide the required space for services. . Parametric study is performed for various shapes of
openings, various lengths of beam, various ISMB sections of beam. The parameters considered were deflection
maximum principal stress, minimum principal stress, von mises stress and maximum shear stress. The objective of
this work is to investigate and compare, through an analytical study, the behavior of perforated steel beams with
circular and square shape configurations of web openings. In this investigation design tables were obtained with gives
minimum safe ISMB section for given length and given loading conditions.
