Abstract: As the field of infrastructure develops, a large number of structures are built across the country. A major portion of these structures tend to be Reinforced Concrete structures. One of the important constituent of Reinforced Concrete structures are steel reinforcements. This high use of reinforcement causes stress both in terms of cost and also over natural resources of our country viz., iron ore. The main purpose of this project is to reduce the reinforcement in concrete beams by altering their configurations. The effective load carrying capacity of beams with different configurations are tested and compared. At the end of this experiment the most effective reinforcement configuration for beams can be figured out.
