EFFECT OF OPENINGS IN BEAMS – A REVIEW

Abstract

Construction of modern buildings requires many pipes and ducts in order to accommodate essential services such as air conditioning, electricity, telephone, and computer network. Web openings in concrete beams enable the installation of these services. A number of studies have been conducted with regards to reinforced concrete beams which contain web openings. The present paper aims to compile this state of the art work on the type of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams with transverse web openings. Various design approaches and strengthening techniques are also presented.
