Detailed information about concealed/hidden Beams
What is concealed/hidden beam ???
A beam of equal thickness to a slab is called a console beam. Another name for a concealed beam is the hidden beam. Simply put, the idea of ​​this concealed beam came from the idea of ​​giving additional reinforcement by thinking of a strip along the columns in a flat slab.
What is the reason for concealed/hidden beam?
1) The beauty increases as there is no unwanted beam depth.
2) The cost of saturating can be reduced.

What is concealed beams
Warning for concealed/hidden beam :
1) This type of beam should not be used on any roof with a thickness below 200 mm.
2) If you want to make a concave beam, you have to analyze not only the beam, but also the model with the whole slab.
In fact, there is no such thing as a concealed/hidden beam in engineering. The concept of concealed/hidden beam has been established by imitating the way in which extra reinforcement is given along the strip along the column to column in the flat slab. 200 mm Or a roof with a thickness of less than 7.75 inches is not right to do this thing. It should be avoided as much as possible.
