Development of validated finite element model for reinforced thin-walled I-beam using steel patch method
Thin-walled structure I-beam is widely used in automotive, oil and gas and construction engineering due to their superior strength-to-weight ratio. For these industries, the application of a thin-walled I-beam can reduce the manufacturing and shipping costs. However, there are some problems when usi...

Civil engineering (General) Thin-walled structure I-beam is widely used in automotive, oil and gas and construction engineering due to their superior strength-to-weight ratio. For these industries, the application of a thin-walled I-beam can reduce the manufacturing and shipping costs. However, there are some problems when using a steel beam in an open area for a long time. The defect such as crack and corrosion may occur to the thin-walled I-beam steel structures.

In FEA, a model that can represent the actual experimental conditions need to be validated. In this study, the reinforced thin-walled I-beam model validated through three-step validations. Each step is validating the necessary part of the reinforced thin-walled I-beam. First, modelling a simple thin-walled I-beam to investigate the boundary condition for thin-walled I-beam until getting 96% accuracy stress analysis compared to the analytical calculation. Second, modelling the welded joints with a triangle geometry to model the joint behavior until getting 95% accuracy compared to the four-point bending test result.
