This paper focuses on the flexural impact behaviour of steel I-beams with rectangular web
openings. Published studies on impact resistance and design requirements of perforated …

The use of perforated (in particular cellular and castellated) beams has become widespread
as their manufacturing processes keep minimising wasted material and has become cost …

This paper presents a study on the castellated beam-to-column connections with four
regular hexagonal web openings and one solid web beam-to-column connection that …

In this study, the performances of the SMRF building equipped with energy dissipating
devices are studied. Three types of these structures with different heights are considered …

Connections of steel moment frames are vulnerable to brittle failure. Providing a perforation
near the beam-ends is suggested as a potential method to improve seismic behavior of …

Application of reduced web beam section (RWBS) as a sacrificial fuse element has become
a popular research field in recent years. Weakening of beam web in these connections may …

Low-cycle reciprocating loading test is applied to a tapered castellated steel member portal
frame to study its seismic performance. Moreover, 52 finite element models are utilized to …

Nowadays, the use of steel structures is increasing and growing rapidly. One of the
highlights is the castellated beams and it is easy during construction. Considering the …

Many studies have been conducted on the monotonic and cyclic behavior of beams with
Reduced Web Section (RWS) moment connections. However, the use of these structural …

The premature failure of steel structures due to connection damages, induced by various
loadings, has received studious attention leading to the development of beam-to-column …
