A Parametric Study on the Effect of Multi-Corrugated Web Profile on the Performance of Steel Beam Section

The structural action of a beam is predominantly bending, with other effects such as shear, bearing and buckling. The web angle and the web profile are some parameters which influence the performance of corrugated web beam. Due to the more application of corrugated section in steel design, a comparative study between triangular, trapezoidal and sinusoidal web profile of corrugated web beam is adopted. A Comparative study using different corrugation angles (00,300,450,600) was also adopted. Eigen buckling analysis and static analysis was conducted to find out the buckling load, deflection, stress and moment reaction of the three web profiles. A parametric study by changing the web angle (00,300,450) was also conducted to find out the suitable web angle for the efficient performance of the girder by using ANSYS software. Modal analysis and transient analysis was done to find out the frequency, deflection and force reaction for the variation in web angle.. Hence finding the most efficient web profile for the corrugated web girder and the web angle for minimum deflection.
