Researches on the Test of Web Local Failure Modes and Related FEA Study

In the analysis of structure steel beam member of mechanical module and piping support in nuclear power plant, beam web shall be analyzed complying with the ASME III NF requirements against web local failure including web local yielding, web local crippling, web sideway buckling and web compression buckling when the beam is subjected to concentrated loads. Referring to the H Type steel structure beam of China GB code; this paper researches the tests of carrying capacity related to the above mentioned local failure mechanism. The results could show that the evaluation method of web local failure mechanism in ASME III NF cover the China GB code steel structure member on one hand; And on the other hand, the results could show the rationalities of the sectional dimension design of the member and the rationality of the beam span. And based on the analysis of the test results, reasonable suggestions could made for the above mentioned member dimension design and beam span design.
