Construction of Multi-storey Buildings, Reinforced Concrete Beam with Transverse Openings

Abstract

In the modern method of construction of building, pipes and ducts for services like water supply, sewage, air conditioning, electricity, telephone and computer networks are to be placed in appropriate positions. Usually, these pipes and ducts are connected and kept below the beam soffit and for aesthetic purpose these are covered by false ceiling thus introducing the dead space. This research aims at providing transverse openings in the beam so that the utility pipes and service ducts can be passed through the opening which may result in systematic accommodation of pipes and ducts and also provide economic savings in the construction of multi-storey buildings. This paper deals with the analysis and design of such beams under the loading case of bending and shear.
