INTRODUCTION
The responsibility of a Structural Engineer lies in not

merely designing the structure based on safety and serviceability considerations but he also has to consider the functional requirements based on the use to which the structure is intended. A multi-storied building, the traditional structural steel framing consists of beams and girders with solid webs. Pipelines and air conditioning ducts, electrical wiring required for satisfactory functioning for which the structure is put up. Providing web opening beam

WEB OPENING
There are no hard & fast rule to dictate the

shapes of the opening Increasing stiffness of steel members without any increasing in the weight of steel requird the reduction in shear capacity at the opening can be significant.

A. CIRCULAR OPENING B. REGULAR HEXAGONAL OPENING C. VERTICAL ELLIPSE G. INCLIND ELLIPSE H. SQUARE OPENING I. ELONGATED CIRCULAR OPENING J. RECTANGULAR OPENING K. ULTIMATE ELONGATED CIRCULAR OPENING

FABRICATION OF PERFORATED WEB BEAM

THE BEAM CAN BE FABRICATED USING CAD/CAM SUPPORTED FLAM OR PLASMA-CUTTING USING THE PROFILE CUTING METHOD

ADVANTAGAE
It is aesthetically higher standard structures and

fitting well to High-Tech trends. By default material, transportation, lifting, assembly, galvanization, surface treatment, and fireproofing costs are reduced. The effect is that the overall building height is red uced,

Long span beams have the advantage of flexibilit y of internal planning by limiting the number of columns resulting in savings in the number of foundations and in speed and cost of ere

LITERATURE REVIEW
As reported by Bower 1968, Redwood and 1968,

Lawson 1987; Darwin 1990; Redwood and Cho 1993; Bradford 1995, the presence of web openings may have a severe penalty on the load carrying capacities of structural members, depending on the shapes of the web openings. In the latter case, the web-post buckling failure modes will dominate (Tsavdaridis and DMello 2011).
