Due to extensive usage of corrugated web in construction, this paper performs finite element analysis to investigate the web thickness effects on the bending behaviour of Triangular Web Profile (TRIWP) steel section. A TRIWP steel section which are consists two flanges attached to a triangular profile web plate. This paper analyzes two categories of TRIWP steel sections which are D×100×6×3 mm and D×75×5×2 mm. It was observed that for steel section D×100×6×3 mm (TRIWP1), the deflection about minor and major axis increased as the span length increased. Meanwhile, the deflection about major axis decreased when depth of the web increased. About minor axis, the deflection increased for 3m and 4m span, while the deflection at 4.8m decreased with increment the depth of web. However, when the depth of the web exceeds 250mm, deflection at 3m and 4m were increased. For steel section D×75×5×2 mm (TRIWP2), the result was different with TRIWP1 steel section, where the deflection in both major and minor directions increased with the increment of span length and decreased with increment the depth of web. It shows that the deflection increased proportionally with the depth of web. Therefore, deeper web should be more considered because it resulted in smaller deflection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
