Web Yielding Is The Compressive Crushing of A Bam Web Caused by A Force Acting On The Flange Directly Above
Objectives:
Web Yielding is the compressive crushing of a bam web caused by a force acting on the flange directly above
or below the web. When the load is transmitted through a plate, a web yielding is assumed to take place on
the nearest section of width tw. In rolled shapes, this section will be at the toe of the fillet, a distance k from
the outside face of the flange.
According to Section 511.23 of NSCP, bearing stiffeners shall be provided when the compressive stress at the
web toe of the fillet resulting from such load exceeds 0.66Fy.
For loads applied at a distance X greater than d from the end of the member:
Web Crippling is the buckling of the web caused by the compressive forced delivered through the flange.
Bearing stiffener shall be provided in the webs of the member under concentrated loads, when the
compressive force exceeded the following limits:
a. When the concentrated load is applied at distance X from the end of the member not less than d/2.
b. When the concentrated load is applied at distance X from the end of the member greater than d/2.
Sidesway web buckling. Bearing stiffener is provided for web of members not restraint against sidesway
relative to movement by stiffeners lateral bracing and subject to concentrated compressive loads that
exceeds the following limits:
Problem Set:
1. A W24x94 beam on a 4.5m span underpin a column that brings 300KN dead load and 800KN live
load to its top flange at a location 1.5m from the left support. The column bearing plate is 300mm
measured along the beam, and the bearing plates at the ends supports are 200mm thick concrete
beam. If F’c = 276.MPa, Check the beam by (a) web yielding; (b) web crippling; and (c) sidesway
web buckling(no lateral support) (k = 30mm, k1 =14.3mm)
2. A W30x99 beam carries a concentrated load of 900KN at its midspan. Using A36 steel and neglecting
weight of beam, (k = 26mm, k1 = 15.6mm)
a. Determine the minimum bearing length at the end reactions in order to prevent web yielding.
b. Determine the minimum bearing length over which the load must be distributed in order to
prevent web yielding.
c. Determine the minimum bearing length at the end reaction to prevent web crippling.
d. Determine the minimum bearing length at concentrated load in order to prevent web crippling.
e. If N = 250mm, determine the adequacy of the beam by sidesway web buckling if the loaded flange
is not restrained against rotation.
f. If N = 250mm, determine the adequacy of the beam by sidesway web buckling if the loaded flange
is restrained against rotation.
3. A W30x116 has a top flange restrained against rotation and has an unstiffened web. A point load is
applied at the top flange at 2m from one support. The beam has a span of 8m. Using A36 steel (k =
28mm, k1 = 13.4mm)
a. Determine the value of point load that may be applied without occurring web yielding.
b. Determine the value of point load that mat be applied without occurring web crippling.
c. Determine the value of point load that may be applied without occurring sidesway web buckling.
4. For the beam shown(W12x50), if N = 200mm at concentrated load and support, P = 100KN(at
midspan), w = 20KN/m, determine the adequacy: (k = 24mm, k1 = 12.4mm). L1 = 4m, L2 = 6m
a. By web yielding.
b. By web crippling.
c. By sidesway web buckling if load flange is restraint against rotation at concentrated load only.
d. By sidesway web buckling if load flange is not restraint against rotation at concentrated load.
