This paper describes the experimental and numerical flexural behavior investigation of the aluminum beams. The main variables considered in the study are related to section shape, which are the shape configuration, depth, and thickness of the aluminum section. The finite element three dimensional models are used to analyze the tested beams in order to check the ability of the models to predict the overall behavior and to obtain more information about the stresses and strains that developed. The results show that the larger the value of the section shape factor, the fiber is still in the elastic range, and the smaller the plastic deformation of the beam. And the web plates slenderness ratio has a significant influence on the load-deflection relationship because of local deformation as well as the plastic deformation of box beams is relatively smaller than that of the I-section beam. The constraint of the flange for box beams is greater than that for I-section beams. Besides, the adopted nonlinear numerical modeling gives acceptable agreement with the experimental results besides the load-deflection responses, the ultimate strength convergence ratios varied between 1.1-0.93.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Misan Journal of Engineering Sciences}, author={Fahad Resan, Sa’ad and Jasim, Nabeel Abdulrazzaq}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={37–49} }
