This paper presents a basic parametric study on steel girders with trapezoidally corrugated webs having cut outs. A finite element analysis is carried out to investigate the effect of cut outs in corrugated webs. This FE-modelling is conceived in ANSYS because of the program’s significant capability to account for the web stresses and out-of-plane buckling failure modes. The Finite element model of...
