Abstract

Perforated steel beams are being used widely in moment resisting frames. Given the computational expense of detailed numerical simulations, it seems necessary to introduce a simplified macro-model to be used in nonlinear analyses. This paper presents a nonlinear macro-model for numerical simulation of perforated steel I-beams. Results of finite element analysis on eighty perforated beams are used to calibrate the parameters of proposed macro-model. Then, results from proposed macro-model are verified against eight experiments gathered from other references and nine FE models analyzed by authors. The comparison shows that, the proposed macro-model has acceptable accuracy and can be utilized for further studies on the perforated steel I-beams.
