The effect of hollow section to the flexural strength of the beam

The idea of providing hollow section to the beam in order to reduce the weight of the structure was generally one of the solutions for lightweight beam structure. The concept introduced was the same as hollow slab panels which been widely used in bridge and highway construction. The reduction of t...
