looking for literature about deflection in non-standard beams (vierendeel, castellated beams, ...)
(OP)
As title says, I'm looking for literature that deals specifically with deflection in castellated beams). Although any partly related publication is also always welcome.
Not for a specific purpose, but more for personal education, as I've seen them used in public environments where my gut would say they're (way) too large for the loads they need to react. On the other hand I won't criticise the designers as I honestly haven't got a clue about them, hence this question.

- SCI P355 - Design of composite beams with large web openings LINK;
- LWO+ - Large web openings for service integration in composite floors LINK;
- Design of castellated beams for use with BS5950 and BS449;
- AISC DG 31 - Castellated and Cellular Beam Design (not much information here...).

Edit: that would be my method for Castellated beams, not other types. I have confidence that Castellated beams are going to have the flanges act compositely.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

@ jayrod12, I've used this method for a rough approximation, but these "napkin" calcs don't coincide with reality in the other way ( => actual beams are bigger than this conservative approach).

EDIT:
@ KootK, we must've been typing at the same moment, so I didn't see your reply before. Thx as well. I've got the Blodgett books (my profession is welding engineering, so how could I not have those), will check them to see if what I'm looking for is mentioned there.

If not, then I think I'd still be comfortable going that route, there's no need to take everything to 99%.

1 - ACBplus : round openings
2 - Angelina : sinusoidal openings
Furthermore the theory here attached
PS : if you are unsuccessful I will do it, attaching here in the next post
