Abstract: Openings in webs of steel beams or steel beam column are commonly used to reduce the material volume without affecting the structural strength or serviceability requirements. Most of previous research focused on the behavior of beam with web opening but only few concentrated on beam column with web opening. This paper highlights the behavior of steel beam column with different shapes of web opening at different locations. A finite element software ANSYS 19 was used for modeling beam column element with web opening. The results obtained from this study have shown that, load capacity of beam column with circular web opening is bigger than that of beam columns with square or rectangular web opening. The behavior of the steel beam columns became weaker and the vertical deflection at failure stage is increased when the area of web opening has been increased. Whenever web opening is located near to location of applied load that is lead to increase deflection.
