Abstract

Abstract:
The system of reinforced concrete paneled beams is used in large areas as large span halls and mosques and churches. Now days it is considered a first option for high height plus large span structures.
The design of reinforced concrete simple paneled beams depends mainly onthe behavior of the grid action of the reinforced concrete beams with same depth.
The bending moment considered in the design depends on the deflection of the paneled reinforced concrete beams with same depth, where a reduction factor will be considered in the design of a simple reinforced concrete paneled beam. 
The case of the reinforced concrete continuous paneled beam and the skew paneled beam both cases can’t be considered as the simple case and has to be solved by a computer. In this study the continuous paneled is analyzed as a grid element and a design procedure is considered depending on the behavior of the continuous paneled concrete beam.
The analysis will be considered the effect of the two way deflection of the paneled reinforced concrete beams and the grid action stiffness in both directions taking the effect of both perpendicular beams as being supporting to the other beam.
A verification with the results of a commercial computer software will be considered in this study and a parametric study will be done. This method will be considered as a simple approach in the analysis and design of continuous concrete paneled beams slab system.
