Use of castellated beams has become very popular now a days due to its advantageous structural applications. Castellated beams are those beams which has openings in its web portion. Castellated beams are fabricated by cutting the web of hot rolled steel (HRS) I section into zigzag pattern and thereafter re-joining it over one another. The openings made in the webs are of generally hexagonal, circular, diamond or square in shape. Therefore, considering structural performance of the beam, the shape and size of openings provided in the web are always an important issue of concern. The finite element analysis (FEA) of the beam using Abaqus /CAE 6.13 software and following the provisions of Eurocode 3 has been carried out for different sizes of openings. Von-misses failure criteria is used to finding out failure load on the beam and the results obtained for optimized beam is validated by experimentation.
