The Numerical Investigation of Steel Structural Members with Various Web Opening Shapes Under Impact Load Effects

Öz

In this study, the influence of different web-opening shapes on the impact performance of steel structural elements was evaluated numerically using ABAQUS. IPE240 profiles were modeled with circular, hexagonal, pentagonal, square, and triangular openings, keeping material properties, opening area, number, and placement identical. The 3D models used C3D4 elements, and two lateral impact scenarios were applied: loading on the flange and on the web. Load–deflection behavior and deformation patterns were analyzed. Results indicated that opening geometry significantly affects strength loss. Triangular openings produced the greatest reduction, while circular and hexagonal shapes performed best. Overall, although the presence of openings decreases the impact resistance of the profiles, certain geometries can preserve structural behavior more effectively than others.
