In the design of perforated steel beams, the web buckling is a critical concern due to the reduction in stiffness caused by the perforations. While perforations reduce weight and material usage, they also weaken the web, making it more susceptible to buckling under compressive or shear loads.

To minimize this risk, engineers can optimize the perforation pattern and consider web stiffening as a solution. Advanced analysis using surface-based models in hashtag#RFEM by hashtag#DlubalSoftware allows for precise evaluation of buckling behavior in perforated webs, ensuring that the beam design maintains both structural performance and material efficiency.
