Dear Fellows,
I have countered with a situation that beam depths are very high that run in kitchens as well as washrooms where plumbing pipes are also to run such that these cross the beams horizontally. Have any one of you worked on sleeves in RCC beams ? what are your experiences both practically and theoretically . the flexural capacity , shear capacity , shear Flow ? the beam length is about 10 feet having depth and width may be assumed as 30 inches and 8 inches respectively while the sleeve dia may be considered as 6 inches ? where do you think is possible location in both negative and positive moments ( within L/4 and in the mid span of the beam )
I hope I will get appreciable responses, thank you
