Development of Strut Model for Evaluating Shear Capacity of Beams With Elongated Circular Web Openings

There are a number of reasons for considering web openings in steel structures with I-sections. Design of these structural members is always a practical challenge in steel construction. There are several design methods available in the literature for design of these components. Most of these methods...
