Study of the Cellular Composite Beam’s Behavior under HVAC Ducts’ Weight while Exposed to High Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

A composite cellular beam may offer much advantage by using its web openings, but it could lose some fire resistance capacity. The paper studies the influence of HVAC ducts to composite cellular beam while the ducts’ weight is supported by the web holes.
