Comparison of Reinforced Concrete Beam and Steel Beam

Instead of using hot rolled I-beam as a structural member, Reinforced concrete

beam will be used . After structural analysis, the summary of the results are as follows.

Building RCB Size Cost of RCB Hot-rolled Cost of Hot-

per linear I-beam size rolled I-beam

meter per linear meter

Administration 300 x 450mm Php. 1084.50 W 21 x 44 Php. 8448.00
Infirmary 250 x 400mm Php. 962.00 W 21 x 50 Php. 9548.80
Workshop & 300 x 500mm Php. 1137.00 W 18 x3 5 Php. 7112.8

A.L.S. Building
Jail 300 x 500mm Php. 1137.00 W 18 x 40 Php. 8146.8

Compare with the linear meter cost of the Reinforced Concrete Beam (RCB),

Hot-rolled I-beam is very costly, as shown in the table above.
