In　order　to　compare　the　influences　of　different　opening　forms　on　the　impact　resistance　of　steel　beams　with　web　openings（SBWO），the　equivalent　flexural　stiffnesses　of　steel　beams　with　hexagonal　and　circular　openings　in　the　web　at　different　opening　spacings　and　opening　heights　were　compared，and　drop　weight　impact　tests　and　finite　element　analysis　were　carried　out.　The　main　parameters　analyzed　are　the　opening　form，impact　energy，spacing　between　openings，opening　height，and　impact　position.　The　drop　weight　impact　force，displacement，and　strain　around　web　opening　were　collected　during　the　test.　The　results　show　that　the　buckling　deformation　of　the　steel　beam　with　hexagonal　web　opening（SBHWO）is　larger　than　that　of　the　steel　beam　with　circular　web　opening（SBCWO）under　the　impact　of　the　drop　weight.　The　SBCWO　exhibits　a　larger　impact　plateau　value，stronger　ability　to　resist　the　impact，and　better　energy　dissipation　capacity.　The　maximum　displacement　produced　by　the　SBCWO　is　86.49%　of　that　of　the　SBHWO.　The　finite　element　numerical　model　can　more　accurately　simulate　the　dynamic　response　of　SBWO　under　impact.　The　most　unfavorable　impact　position　of　both　SBWO　is　about　1/4　of　the　calculated　length　from　the　beam　end.　The　impact　position　near　the　beam　end　is　more　favorable，and　the　displacement　generated　here　is　the　smallest.　It　is　less　affected　by　the　opening　form.　©　2025　Tongji　University.　All　rights　reserved.
