Abstract
Corrugated web beams in which the web is formed with corrugation such as sinusoidal or trapezoidal has been generally used in industrial buildings like warehouses and bridge girder construction. In steel structure applications, the web gives more resistance to the compressive stress and transmits shear in the beam while the flanges support the major external loads. Therefore, web is considered for nonlinear analysis study by comparing the parameters like thickness and shape. It will reduces the cost of materials without failure for the load-carrying capacity of the beam. In this paper an attempt is made to study the behavior of trapezoidal corrugated web beam (TCWB) under loading for different corrugation angles of web in I-steel sections. In order to simulate the structural behavior of the trapezoidal corrugated web beams, the model is developed by using the finite element analysis software ANSYS. The parameters consider in the study are change in web corrugation angles of 30\(^\circ\) and 45\(^\circ\). The comparison has been made by comparing the load vs mid span deflection behaviour and stress distribution within the web of the beam.
