Abstract
An alternative structure for RC beam is a challenging factor in the field of structural engineering. Various studies had been conducted to introduce a cost-effective light weight structure which can replace RC structure. Studies on Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) panel sandwitched with Cold Formed Steel (CFS) is one such recent alternative technique to RC structure. In this paper, a GFRG laminated beam developed and strengthened by encasing Cold Formed Steel (CFS) internally and externally is analyzing using ANSYS 16.1 Software for evaluating flexural behaviour of developed beam. It is expected that this combined arrangement of GFRG panel and CFS will provide a cost-effective, light weight and load bearing structure with substantial strength to replace RC.
