Abstract
In reinforced cement concrete beam, the region below the neutral axis is in tension and above neutral axis is in compression. Concrete materials is a dominant material for construction due to its various advantages such as workability, low cost and fire resistance as well as its low maintenance cost when compared to the other material. It is formed from a hardened mixture of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, water and some admixture according to the requirrement. Massive exploration of the natural resources for producing concrete is affected by the environment condition and global warming. We have a responsibility to reduce the effect of the application of concrete materials to environmental impact. According to the natural behaviour of the concrete, it is strong in compression and weak in tension. Our assumption, the contribution of tensile stress of the concrete is neglected in the design of reinforced concrete beams. The flexural capacity of the beam is influenced only by the compression stresses of concrete and the tensile stress of the steel reinforcement. Efficient use the concrete materials can be done by replacing the concrete in and near the neutral axis. In this study explores on flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete beam with hollow section in tension zone . It also presents to find out flexural behaviour by using Polyvinyl chloride pipes of various diameters like 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch .
