Abstract

This study presents a new rectangular hollow flange beam (NRHFB). In this new beam, the top flange is designed to be rectangular hollow section. Considering a thin-wall hollow section flange is much weaker in resisting concentrated load, the web is penetrating through the tubular flange to sustain local concentrated load. Using finite element analysis, the flexural behavior of the new beam is compared with conventional I-beam and hollow flange beam. The comparison indicates that NRHFB is more advantageous in resisting loccal concentrated load.
