Stress distribution around a transverse circular opening through the midspan of a double reinforced beam

This manuscript predicts the behavior of a doubly reinforced concrete beam with a circular opening at its midspan by closely analyzing traditional beam theory and design. It then confirms these predictions with finite element modeling software while providing design suggestions. The analysis is limi...
