Abstract
Engineers and researchers prefer to use castellated beams as steel beams because they use less material but have the same performance as I-beams of the same size. Castellated beams are made from standard universal I-beams or H-beams by cutting the web along the half hexagonal line along the centre of the beam. The two halves are shifted by 1/2 pitch and re-joined by welding. The castellated beam manufacturing process increases the depth of the beam, resulting in increased bending strength and stiffness around the long axis without adding additional material. The purpose of this project is to investigate the effect of web openings on castellated beam lying down using analytical techniques. The goal of developing analytical solutions employing the classical principle of minimum potential energy is design and implementation. Meanwhile, numerical solutions obtained using ANSYS software are used to validate analytical solutions. Furthermore, this study is also useful for evaluating the shear-induced lying down of castellated beams under uniformly distributed lateral loads. Analytical and numerical solutions were applied to a wide range of geometric dimensions of I beams under evenly distributed shear loads
