What is doubly reinforced beam?
Are there any drawbacks to using a doubly reinforced beam?
One potential drawback is that the design of a doubly reinforced beam can be more complex and time-consuming than that of a singly reinforced beam. Additionally, the cost of the extra reinforcement could make the overall project more expensive. However, these drawbacks are usually outweighed by the increased load capacity and durability of the beam.
