Warping behaviour of cantilever steel beam with openings

This project presents a short study on warping behaviour of cantilever steel beam with openings subjected to coupled torsional force at the free end. Thus far there has not been any research regarding the relationship between warping and web’s openings. Finite element software, LUSAS 13.6, was use...
