The present study pertains to the effects of transverse opening diameters and shear
reinforcement ratios on the shear and flexural behavior of RC beams with two web openings …

Transverse openings alter the structural behavior and undermine the integrity of concrete
beams, resulting in stiffness degradation, shear strength reduction, stress concentration …

In order to study the influence of load position and chamfer opening on the shear
performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with double openings, five 1/3 RC beams …

This paper presents numerical investigations in studying large web openings. Based on the
previous guidelines, the web openings in reinforced concrete beams are being investigated …

The implementation of hollow cores in beams is getting popular nowadays because of its
practical advantages. The reduction of disadvantages in the beams with an opening is …

In modern buildings, the structural members may have openings for utilizing passes and the
necessary efforts should be taken to keep them structurally safe. The work focused on the …

This paper reviews the effects of openings in reinforced concrete (RC) beams and their
effects on the RC beams' ability to bear loads. RC beams may have openings due to the …

Provision of openings in reinforced concrete beams is normally required to provide essential
services. Most likely, the circular openings are provided to pass through service pipes, such …

This study presents the findings of an experiment conducted on eleven identical fiber-
reinforced concrete beams with two large rectangular openings strategically positioned at …

ABSTRACT A virtual T-section may be formed and considered in the design process of
