Publisher's Synopsis

This book compiles state-of-the-art information on the behavior, analysis, and design of concrete beams containing transverse openings.
Discussions include

the need, effects, and classification of openings as well as the general requirements for fulfilling design

pure bending, combined bending, and shear - illustrated with numerical examples

torsion alone or in combination with bending and shear

large rectangular openings as well as opening size and location on beam behavior

methods for analyzing ultimate strength and serviceability requirements

effects of torsion in beams

large openings in continuous beams and their effects on possible redistribution of internal forces as well as guidelines and procedures for the design of such beams

effect of prestressing on the serviceability and strength of beams with web openings

design against cracking at openings and ultimate loads
Concrete Beams with Openings serves as an invaluable source of information for designers and practicing engineers, especially useful since little or no provision or guidelines are currently available in most building codes.
