Comparative Study of Hollow R.C.C Beam

Abstract

This project aims to provide manual calculation and a formulated sheet for the design of simple and hollow beams, along
with a comparison between them. The design process involves determining the properties of the beam, calculating the maximum bending moment, determining the area of steel required, the number of bars required, and checking the beam for bending stress. The comparison is made based on factors such as material usage, structural efficiency, and cost. The formulated sheet includes step-by-step calculations for designing simple and hollow beams, taking into consideration material properties, loads, and geometric properties. It provides a systematic approach for engineers and designers to design beams that meet the required structural requirements. The comparison between simple and hollow beams involves evaluating their advantages and disadvantages. Simple beams are straightforward to design and construct but may require more material, while hollow beams can offer higher structural efficiency and reduced weight, but may be more complex to design and require additional
considerations such as buckling and stability. The formulated sheet and comparison between simple and hollow beams provide valuable insights for engineers and designers in selecting the appropriate beam type for their specific project requirements. It can aid in optimizing the design process and ensuring safe and efficient beam structures.
