Mid-span hollow foam concrete beam

In the design of elevated precast concrete slab, hollow section is often adopted in order to reduce the selfweight of precast slab. With that idea, this project proposed hollow beams made of foam concrete and the investigate the performance of beams in terms of deflection, cracking, and strain. A...
