Abstract

Recent RC beam structures are constructed with openings to accommodate pipes and utility ducts Research is being actively carried out on RC beams with web openings and their various types. This paper aims to compile and review the publications on the structural behavior of RC beam openings with and without strengthening techniques. Various features and characteristics will be discussed including the types of openings and their specification along with their structural behavior of RC beams.

Keywords
