Abstract
The behaviour of cellular beams made from normal and high strength steel with various geometries is investigated through a large number of finite element analyses and a simple mechanical model for the Web-Post Buckling (WPB) failure is developed and analysed in order to highlight the factors which influence its occurrence and development for both normal and High-Strength (HS) steels. The performed FE analyses and the proposed modelling, once calibrated, allow to shed some light on the characteristics of the phenomenon and to provide the basis of a reliable design method to predict shear buckling of web-post of cellular beams made both of mild and HS steel.
