Tee beam section represent an important structural component due to its significant application in many construction fields. Determining the optimal sectional sizes for a beam is a challenging task, as it involves identifying the dimensions that will enable the beam to withstand the most intense shear forces. For that in this thesis, the tee section investigated base on different sizes and conditions using ANSYS software program. The methodology involves three stages; the first stage is the validation conditions which compare with previous studies. The second stage was by changing the beam section dimensions based on 1900mm length. Finally, the third stage is by changing the length to 3000mm span. The results observed that the perforated beams with deeper size surpassed all other typical beam kinds. The deflection reduced from 8.454 mm to 3.280 mm. This result supported by the results of second group with observed as the best case due to beam depth. The deflection in this stage reduced from 24.748 mm to 23.001 mm
