A Review on Comparison of RCC and Steel Multistorey Building with and Without Beam Projections

Abstract

Beam projections are mostly used in the balconies and other extensions they are Cantilever beams which are free at the one end and fixed at other end which is used for good aesthetic view of building. The bending moment, torsion in member depends on its projection. For large projection for heavy load the steel member, composite member are the alternatives for RCC. As a result, in RCC beam addition steel may be needed as it adversely effect on cost of the structure. It may have greater impact in areas where projection beams are located more, hence economical beam design is required to lower building costs. This paper presents the comparison of RCC, steel and composite beam projection by studying various research articles.
