Effect of square hollow section on the strength of foamed concrete beam with processed spent bleaching earth as partial replacement of cement
Hollow beam is introduced to reduce the cost of the construction project by reducing the use of materials and formworks. Processed Spent Bleaching Earth (PSBE) is the SBE that has been treated and can be used as a partial replacement for cement in the foamed concrete due to its pozzolanic effect. De...

Hollow beam is introduced to reduce the cost of the construction project by reducing the use of materials and formworks. Processed Spent Bleaching Earth (PSBE) is the SBE that has been treated and can be used as a partial replacement for cement in the foamed concrete due to its pozzolanic effect. Density of foamed concrete was designed to get 1600 kg/m³ density. The objective of the study is to determine the maximum load of the flexural beam, the deflection of the flexural beam, and the mode of failure of the flexural beam by using 4 point bending test. Four types of beams were prepared which namely controlled FC beam as known as solid beam (Beam 1) without the hollow section, hollow beam (Beam 2) with the opening size of (50mm x 50mm), hollow beam (Beam 3) with the opening size of (60mm x 60mm), and hollow beam (Beam 4) with the opening size of (70mm x 70mm).
