... the study of structural behaviour and efficiency of tapered steel section with elliptical perforation under shear loading conditions. Design/methodology/approach The effect of various elliptical perforation configurations such as tapering ratio, perforation size, perforation orientation and perforation...

... pattern and efficiency of the tapered steel section with perforation were investigated using finite element analysis. In addition, I-beam with web opening is studied numerically via LUSAS software for different parameters of tapering ratio, perforation shape and perforation size and perforation layout...

.... In this analysis, the structural efficiency of tapered steel section with perforation under lateral-torsional buckling behaviour is investigated. Design/methodology/approach A total of 81 models are analysed using LUSAS software and five variables are investigated which involved perforation sizes, perforation...
