This book compiles state-of-the-art information on the behavior, analysis, and design of concrete beams containing transverse openings.Discussions includethe need, effects, and classification of openings as well as the general requirements for fulfilling designpure bending, combined bending, and shear - illustrated with numerical examplestorsion alone or in combination with bending and shearlarge rectangular openings as well as opening size and location on beam behaviormethods for analyzing ultimate strength and serviceability requirementseffects of torsion in beamslarge openings in continuous beams and their effects on possible redistribution of internal forces as well as guidelines and procedures for the design of such beamseffect of prestressing on the serviceability and strength of beams with web openingsdesign against cracking at openings and ultimate loadsConcrete 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.
