Castellated beams are fabricated from rolled I-beams. The web of the section is cut by flame along the longitudinal axis according to a zigzag trace. The two halves are then welded together to produce a beam of greater depth with a sequence of openings in the web. The resulting beam has a larger section modulus and greater bending rigidity than the original section, without an increase in weight. Composite structures of steel and concrete have been an alternative increasingly employed in the construction industry by offering constructive and economic advantages over other building technologies. The interest in composite castellated beams arises as a result of the use of castellated beams in floor systems, since the composite solution can further contribute increasing inertia and ultimate strength.. The main objective of this work is the evaluation of the structural behavior of composite castellated beams of steel and concrete, obtained from numerical simulation using the Finite Element Method. For development of the numerical model the computer program ABAQUS was used considering geometric and material nonlinearity. The numerical model allows to consider different degrees of interaction between steel and concrete with partial or full transmission of the shear flow that occurs at the interface between the concrete slab and the steel beam. In order to validate the numerical model, five experimental models of composite castellated beams of steel and concrete, with symmetrical openings, whose test results are available in the literature, were analyzed. The numerical model is able to adequately represent the structural behavior of composite castellated beams of steel and concrete, including the ultimate capacity and failure modes identified. The strategies adopted to simulate the interaction between steel and concrete allowed to reproduce the phenomena observed in experimental models for different types of openings and different degrees of interaction between steel and concrete.
